A contested Code of Ethics bill, HB relates, faces committee hearings as Senate leaders weigh amendments expanding oversight to local officials. The session also contemplates the president and campaign events with Alabama Gov. Wallace in Baton Rouge and invitations to President Johnson and Sen. Goldwater.
