Senate shows little chance to pass revenue sharing before recess
Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield said revenue sharing faces slim odds of passage before the Republican National Convention. The Finance Committee delayed the bill over a jurisdictional clash with the Appropriations panel, and Appropriations chairman McClellan rejected bypassing normal funding. Mansfield tied revenue sharing to progress on the arms control pact with the Soviet Union, noting no vote while the interim agreement remains unsettled. National guard tanks and dusty air near Vandenberg Village were noted amid maneuvers near the base.
