House Demo leadership fight over streamlining looms
Rep Thomas Rees of Los Angeles warned of a leadership clash if Speaker McCormack resists reforms to streamline the House. He urged younger members gain power, proposed direct caucus election of the whip and chair, broader committee access, faster floor procedures, stricter lobbyist controls, and a shift in the fiscal year. Rees touted support from fellow liberals and plans to refine the reform agenda with the Democratic Study Group.
