House Stands Ready To Stop The Watchdogs
Washington sources say the House Government Operations Committee will oppose an effort by Rep William Dawson to abolish the watchdog subcommittee on government information. Rep Ogden Reid argues the move muzzles dissent at a critical time as the subcommittee has pressed for access to government information and exposed corruption in Vietnam era aid. Dawson can reorganize subcommittees but faces possible reversal by the full panel, needing Republican and some Democratic support to halt the plan.
