New Filibuster Rule Hailed As Big Reform
Washington AP reports the Senate adopted a new cloture rule letting debate be ended by a three fifths vote, replacing the two thirds. Mondale calls it a major reform amid inflation and energy concerns as supporters push faster action on tax reform and voter registration. The change retains two thirds for future rule changes, with a 72 to 21 vote to limit further debate before final passage.
