The House rejected two seniority proposals to curb chairmen tenures and voted 11 to 164 to replace Ways and Means chair with Rep. Joe D. Waggonner of Louisiana, ousting Rep. Fraser. Liberal goals included pressuring long-standing DC Committee head Rep. John L. McMillan of South Carolina, who led the panel for 22 years.
