Albert says Congress won’t finish its chores
Speaker Carl Albert told committee chairs the 94th Congress cannot enact programs to restore full employment and social progress. He urged focus on broad policies for the 1976 platform and 1977 program, noting cooperation with the President but willingness to compromise without surrendering Democratic principles. The tone shifted from January optimism as several vetoed or diluted measures hinder progress.
