Mansfield Reconsiders Vote Against Haynsworth
Former Senator Mansfield says he may have cast the wrong vote on Haynsworth confirmation as reports link opposition to the nomination. He notes the Nixon timetable aims to send nominees to the Senate soon for vacancies created by retirements. Other senators defend or criticize the process while naming a six nominee list and opposing speeches spark broader debate.
