Saxbe Bill Fate Left To Senate
The Senate Judiciary Committee sent the Saxbe nomination to the full Senate for decision while tabling any clear stance on a companion bill. The bill would set the attorney general’s salary to 60,000 until 1975, then back to 35,000, aiming to bypass constitutional limits that bar lawmakers from civil offices if salary rose during their term. Senator Byrd opposes the measure as constitutionally unsafe, though the nomination vote and debate schedule proceed alongside Vice Presidential nominee Gerald Ford’s confirmation process.
