Congress Opens January 7 Warms to Stormy Session
Washington braces for a tense opening as Congress reconvenes for the 85th session. Deficit and defense spending loom large with calls to cut other programs while pushing for higher military outlays amid fears of Russian advances.

Senator Sparkman criticizes housing delays and urges hearings on military and urban programs while advocating FHA mortgage rate relief to spur the economy.
