Congress Anxious For Adjournment This Year
Congress aims for early July adjournment after a year of work. House Leader Underwood says necessary appropriation bills and president demanded measures can be completed before July 1. Senate discussions on adjournment focus on a sub committee to coordinate with the House, with August 1 possible if tolls repeal, anti trust, rural credits, and appropriation bills stretch the schedule. Senate tolls repeal debate is only beginning and not likely to dominate days.
