White House pressure cited over government reorganization bill
Opponents of the government reorganization bill said assurances from the White House and political pressure were used to defeat amendments. Senator Wheeler claimed assurances misled colleagues, while Byrnes denied coercive methods. A key issue was a Wheeler amendment requiring presidential orders to be submitted to Congress before taking effect. In the House, opposition targeted authorizing three new battleships as part of a broader naval expansion plan.
