House Debates Debt Limit Cut and River Bill Approval
The House unanimously approves debt limit reduction from 275 million to 275 million dollars while demand for lower federal spending and foreign loan curbs grows. The Senate must act on the House bill after Byrd's companion measure passed the Senate. The record debt peaked at 279 billion dollars last February and has since fallen about 10 billion as the Treasury reduces cash on hand. Separately, the Senate Commerce Committee approves a House-passed river and harbor bill ahead of flood control measures costing at least 900 million dollars, including navigation hydroelectric power and irrigation projects. Acting Chairman Overton hopes the Senate will take up the Rivers and Harbors bill soon.

The Senate Judiciary Committee ruled it has no authorization or jurisdiction to act on charges raised by Justice Robert H. Jackson against Justice Hugo L. Black.
