Senate Debates Truman Pay Rise Amid Tight Votes
The Senate moved to require itemized expense vouchers for the President and key officials, but a bid to force full itemization failed 61 to 22. An amendment to limit increases to only the President, Vice President, and Speaker passed 84 to 2 as Lucas warned House action would be swift, while Morse and Donnell opposed.
