Rules Curb Voted Out In Early 1971 House Battle
Washington AP reports the new House Democratic leadership faced a rough start over rules governing the 1971 session. A 233 to 152 vote struck down a clause limiting the Rules Committee to 31 days to block bills, a move favored by Speaker Carl Albert. The vote, backed by Republicans and Southern Democrats, left in place power to decide when to bring stalled measures to the floor. The same day Democrats defeated a plan to give Republicans a third of committee investigative funds under the 1970 reorganization act.
