French stands strong for public building aid in Moscow
In a defiant push for a Moscow public building, the committee approved the plan but the Omnibus bill failed this session. Support in the house remains strong, signaling likely passage next session. French's integrity on the mileage issue earns praise from colleagues. Idaho's Burton L. French, the youngest member, gains respect for voting no on extra $1,100 mileage and is viewed as a rising force for the next congress.
