Senators Call For Filibuster Curbs
A bipartisan group of eight senators urged tighter filibuster limits in a 39 page brief on the anti filibuster Rule 22. They favored a 51 percent majority to end debate with room for eight to nine weeks of extended debate. The brief argues two-thirds cloture blocks civil rights and many actions, yet three fifths cloture is inadequate. Senators Humphrey Douglas St. Clark Hart Kuchel Javits Keating Russell frame the effort as central to Kennedy proposals and face likely Southern resistance.
