Senate committee faces split over rate legislation approaches
The full Committee on Commerce will meet November 21, with Senator Foraker’s bill not guaranteed to reflect committee views. Senator Elkins plans a rival bill backed by expert backers, while Senator Cultrom may propose a measure aligned with President Reagan’s interstate commerce goals. Democrats may push a party line option influenced by Bryan’s Japan trip. The panel aims to act before Congress convenes but likely won’t report immediately. Also an ad offers 100 ft of lumber for 81.75 from Libbey & Co.
