Quick Action Planned on Tariff Bill by House
Washington May 4 The way was cleared for passage of the tariff bill on May 28 as Chairman Snell of the rules committee introduced a program to dispose of the measure in record time. The Snell rule lets the House consider only committee amendments and blocks other changes. The Republican caucus backed the plan 206 to 24, while the minority can offer two motions to send the bill back to committee to strike flexible provisions in the administrative section, a move expected to fail.
