Congress Still Upset Over US In Indochina
In Washington the new Congress began amid protests over U S involvement in Indochina. Senator Church urged a Foreign Relations Committee inquiry into Cambodia air and ground actions possibly breaching the Cooper Church amendment. Senator Mondale warned Thai troops in Laos risk entanglement and jeopardize Vietnam withdrawals. Defense Secretary Laird defended authority for air actions, while a move to curb air activity was dropped from a broader measure. The Pentagon said it had no knowledge of Thai ground troops in Laos.

House Signals Early Seniority Reform In Congress
In separate party caucuses on Wednesday House Democrats and Republicans moved to loosen the seniority rules on committee chairs. Democrats limited each member to one subcommittee chairmanship, opening about 40 chair positions to juniors. Republicans backed a formal automatic vote on top committee members, a tougher stance than Democrats would allow. Despite these steps, the 50 year seniority grip persists, with few challenges likely and John McMillan named as a potential resistance. Hale Boggs led the Democrats as majority leader after a Tuesday leadership vote, while John Anderson won a GOP conference post in a tight race. Boggs plans to name the whip by Friday, amid early questions about Carl Albert’s stance on the whip appointment.
