Congress Redistricting Bill In Fog Of Confusion
Washington AP A congressional redistricting bill has lawmakers and staff in confusion over its effect delaying reapportionment until after the 1970 census. The measure ties district variation to the 1970 count, leaving courts unsure how to apply the Supreme Court one man one vote ruling. Rep. John Conyers Jr. criticized the bill, predicting a postponement to 1972, while Kennedy dissented in the Senate. House members seek clarification before voting, fearing a flawed compromise.
