Value Of Secret Session Debated
Washington. The Senate held its first secret debate since World War II, with debate lasting nearly four and a half hours. The body rejected a speed-up for Nike Zeus and approved a $15 billion defense procurement bill, 58 to 16 in favor. The bill was $905 million smaller than the House version, a conference likely to resolve differences. The panel did not contest $364 million in RS70 development authorizations. The chamber also voted 48 to 22 against adding $134 million for two Thresher-type submarines, amid regret over the loss of that vessel. After the defense measure, 26 minor bills were quickly approved on a routine call before adjourning for the weekend.
