Adjournment Hopes Fade Across Congress This Weekend
House Speaker Martin said it is possible for Congress to adjourn Saturday night if the calendar clears. Senate and House members face jammed measures including housing refugee immigration postal pay raises and a farm price support bill. Conference talks failed to resolve differences on a long term farm bill and on government corporation funding. The Senate approved a 5.855 billion 581 thousand 581 dollar appropriation exceeding the House by 60 million.

Despite 497 rechecks in 12 months, only 225 corrections were recorded, highlighting gaps in enforcement and delays before the Ari zona Tobacco Co and James A. Dick Wholesale Grocery Co fires.
