Extra mileage for Congressmen sparks House clash
In a night session, the House adopted Rep Sherman’s amendment to provide 190,000 dollars for extra mileage for members attending the second session of the current Congress. Opponents argued no member left Washington or used the mileage, and that the action merged with the Cuban reciprocity session. The vote showed partisanship aside as many long-distance members supported the allowance, while several who retire soon opposed it.
