Powell Faces Slashed Budget Battles On House Floor
Washington reports a bitter secret hearing where Representative Powell defended a proposed $457,000 Education and Labor Committee budget against Republican criticism of his foreign trips to Puerto Rico. Powell insisted trips were official, questioned by few, and pledged to repay any owed funds while criticizing minority staff allocations. A separate note profiles Freshman Richard Fulton’s social misadventures at a Washington dinner with foreign dignitaries, ending with a light-hearted scene as Fulton discovers he is among the guests by mistake.
