Congress edges toward adjournment on Garn extension clash
With less than two weeks to adjourn on Oct 14, Bayh predicted the Garn amendment extension would pass by a wide margin after defeating Stevenson's neutralization proposal. Carter urged senators to vote against Garn, warning it could kill the extension, while Weddington and Mondale pressed constituents to oppose amendments. The Senate rejected Scott's bid to allow rescissions, 64-26, leaving Kentucky rescission vetoed and Justice Department notes Congress decides validity of rescissions.
