Minority Attacks House Utility Bill in Report
A minority report by Rep. Edward C. Eicher criticizes the House interstate commerce committee version of the Wheeler Rayburn utility bill as unconstitutional and protectionist against holding companies. The minority faults the bill for powers delegation and weak regulation, contrasting it with the Senate measure. The majority, led by Sam Rayburn, urges passage, noting fundamental differences between the House and Senate texts as the debate looms. President Roosevelt may veto if the mandatory death sentence for unnecessary holding companies is restored.
