The rule would apply only when publishers requested the faster service.

Defense Bill Bars Foreign Made Ships in Dispute
In a tense House vote the defense bill faced a confrontation over banning foreign built naval ships and a $69.9 billion appropriation. The measure would prohibit seven wooden hull minesweepers and U S contracts for British supplies, tied to a Senate compromise about shipbuilding costs and timing. The House backed the ban 233 to 144, with the bill sent back to Senate for reconciliation. The dispute centers on U S naval production versus foreign construction and related financing arrangements.
