Senators Thurmond and Long clashed with Douglas and Proxmire amid a liberal filibuster plan to delay action by adding a rider to foreign aid. The Senate maneuvered to keep a bill stripping federal court jurisdiction from state reapportionment cases from going to Judiciary, with plans to move it on return August 31.
