Congress in session two months with limited action. Both House and Senate passed two measures: emergency indorsement for Formosa policy and authorization of pay raises. House has a better record, enacting reciprocal trade, draft extension, and excise tax extension tied to a $26 tax cut. Senate may pass the excise extension but blocks personal income tax reduction. postal pay raises reported out. Many programs left untouched, with 116 requests pending and 18 authorized, near 83rd Congress levels. Adjournments loom as investigations rise and appropriation bills may slip past July 1 deadlines, signaling possible August beyond.
