Democrats Seek to Combine Bills in Senate Finance
Washington May 11 Democrats on the senate finance committee weigh coupling the Canadian reciprocity bill with the free list measure. Senator Simmons reports friendly Democratic support and talks with regular and insurgent Republicans. Insurgents favor broader reciprocity while some oppose House free list changes. Regular Republicans oppose merging, aiming to block reciprocity. If Democrats win a solid party vote, five Republican votes could place the rider on the bill. The House reportedly would back a combination, forcing the president to accept reciprocity with a larger free list or veto both.
