Backing Kennedy Death Widens Rift in Congress
Area lawmakers praised Sen. Kennedy after his murder. Rep. John Dow and Rep. Joseph Resnick, both New York Democrats, plan Saturday funeral attendance at St Patrick's Cathedral. Dow recalled Kennedy urging his presidential bid and mourned the violence. Resnick called the assassination an unspeakable tragedy and expressed sympathy to the Kennedy family as he paused his campaign activities. The House motion to adjourn in his memory failed 301-69 amid focus on crime control and presidential protection.
