Canal Bill Debate Rages Over Amendments and Route
Washington January 9 Associated Press reports heated House debate on the Nicaragua canal bill. Speakers including Adamson Weeden Sparkman and Cannon argued for and against amendments with Cannon opposing quick passage. The debate centered on treaty compliance, funding, and terms for construction and control of the canal project.
Lawmakers Clash Over War Bill Prices and Debates
In a packed session Mr Lepburn led the floor debate challenging Mr Cannon on a proposal valued at 41 million while the commission stated 27 million. The bill faced rough passage in the next chamber though support exists from a near unanimous House vote. The Senate later adjourned to Monday after executive session without action on the Helstand inquiry and a minor land records funding bill was approved.
