Senate and House News Notes on Niagara Power Deal
The Niagara falls power dispute will be decided by the House after Congress reconvenes. The foreign affairs committee will hear a New York legislature’s panel January 15.

The secretary could limit power exports to Canada. The piece also covers remarks on Congressional integrity by William Howard, a plan to buy embassy properties in Mexico City Tokyo and Berne, and a garbled transit note from New York and Plymouth.
