Union provision stalls bankruptcy bill in House Senate
Washington AP reports conflict over a provision barring scrapping labor contracts during bankruptcy. The House approved a labor safeguard not in the Senate version, risking a stalled conference. Reagan urged Republicans to back deficit reduction, signaling an uphill fight for the compromise plan. The Senate Finance panel backed a $74 billion tax and spending package, with delays to let committees adjust. The liquor tax could rise up to $2 per gallon and the telephone tax extends past 1985. The House also considered helping farmers as grain elevators face bankruptcy, while a Senate override of the President’s veto on a $180 million water research program passed 47-12.
