Cabinet debate delays bill for new commerce department
Washington reports the push for a new department of commerce faces delays as it awaits Senate committee review and potential conference. The measure may wait for a future congress if houses remain at odds, with officials downplaying urgency. The president states no color line will be drawn in his administration and Cushman’s Alaska speech mocks, while Cannon defends the Philippines bills and Teller’s absence from the Colorado Senate hangs in balance.
