Budget Plan Blocked by Senate Obstacle in 1940 Session
Senator Harrison of Mississippi failed to win immediate senate approval for his plan to create a 24 member joint budget committee to study President Roosevelt's budget and advise on fiscal policy. Senator McNary demanded focus on defense spending, and Byrnes pledged to block the measure, risking House-pigeonhole fate as Congress nears 1941. Meanwhile the House voted 170 to 67 to debate the anti lynching bill after a petition from 218 members was ratified, setting the stage for contentious floor action.
