Lively Debate Over Relief Effort in Senate and House
In Washington on December 15, the Senate and House clashed over Hoover's drought relief. The House narrowly backed suspending rules for a $30 million measure, while a two thirds vote was required. Senate leaders defended the plan against La Follette, and Garner pressed for the $60 million drought proposal to be brought up. The Senate sent the $116 million emergency construction bill to conference as Smoot proposed immediate access to $60 million for public buildings.
