Senate tariff bill faces renewed fight after senate vote
Washington March 25 Democratic leaders warned the seven Democrats in the Senate would press for serious consideration of amendments to the $580,000,000 tariff bill as it returns to the House for cursory review. Republicans plan to move toward conference without debating individual provisions, while Democrats aim to secure debate on the Senate amendments. The bill, passed 53 to 21, would raise average duties about 39 percent, with a likely final debate in a conference committee before presidential action.
