House Antiwar Vote Shelved Signals GOP Split
The House GOP conference voted 91 to 43 to adjourn without debating Rep. Paul N. McCloskey Jr. antiwar resolution. The body passed a resolution backing administration talks in Paris, omitting North Vietnam bombing. McCloskey noted 43 votes could hint at bipartisan effort to block Vietnam funding if bombing resumed. Democrats already supported funding cuts. Senate margins were narrower and Nixon faced internal dissent. Ford and Anderson framed the move as endorsing peace talks while dodging endorsement of the bombing.
