Campaign for full congressional representation for Washington
Supporters of DC voting representation say they can curb a Senate filibuster blocking the constitutional amendment. Opponents threaten delaying tactics to forestall Senate approval. If passed by Congress, ratification by three-fourths of states within seven years is required. The plan would grant DC two senators and one representative with voting rights. The district has lacked voting representation since 1800. Walter Fauntroy has served as non voting House delegate since 1971. The measure faced a filibuster after Senate action began on Wednesday.

Fender Named Fort Worth Judge To Lead Criminal Court No 2
Howard M. Fender of Fort Worth was appointed by Gov. Dolph Briscoe to serve as judge for criminal district court No 2 in Tarrant County, replacing the resigning J. E. Winters. Fender will hold the post until a successor is elected in November. Byrd filed a cloture petition with 20 signatures as a precursor to a Friday vote on limiting debate. A Kennedy floor manager said supporters have the votes to halt the filibuster, but amendments are expected to delay. Kennedy cited district concerns about liberalism and demographics while Bartlett warned against implying racism despite population shifts.

Senate to Set Budget Path for Next Fiscal Year
Washington AP The Senate seeks to outdo the House in trimming the next year deficit from a House plan of 39.8 billion with a 489.8 billion spending total. The Senate budget calls for 489.5 billion and a 43.7 billion deficit due to a larger anticipated tax cut, with the two chambers needing agreement by September 15. The House has already approved its resolution amid close votes and rejected deep spending cuts and a 28 billion tax cut plan.
