Congress Debates Upper Colorado Project and Draft
The Iouse Interior Committee voted 20-6 to approve the Upper Colorado River Project bill though Echo Fark was removed and a future study was rejected 19-8. The Senate and House agreed to a four year draft extension with major changes from four to two years and ages adjustments. LDS missionaries remain exempt while ordained and serving, and Congress eyed adjournment around mid July to mid August as Democrats recalibrate ahead of 1956. Highways plans face possible delay, while a National Defense Reserve bill focuses on volunteer service and active duty drills. Sugar hearings explore cane beet quotas with recent concessions and a Soviet agricultural exchange tour is planned for July to August with farm visits across multiple states.
