Long Blocks Attack on Amendment in Auto Safety Bill
Senator Russell B. Long of Louisiana blocked a Republican move to delete his patent provision amendment to the Auto Safety Bill. He argued private firms using federal funds for research must not gain exclusive patents on safety devices and cited talks with Ford, General Motors and Chrysler. After a heated debate, Long’s 43 to 35 roll call defeated the Republicans’ bid to scrap the amendment. He has long pressed to bar private patents on federally financed discoveries and criticized ASSA’s “giveaway” plan expanding patent signing away by a few federal agencies.
