Senate group defers action on world court plan
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted 10 to 9 to postpone consideration of the world court until next December. Senator Reed led the motion to defer with Republican support mostly joining him while Democrats united against postponement. Chairman Borah and Senator Gillett were the only Republicans voting no. The move stalls any court discussion in the current session ending March 4 and could avert an extra session.
