Byrd Leads Fight Against 107 Million Dispersal Bill
Senate vote 45 39 to recommit the dispersal bill to committee prompts Sen Harry Byrd's opposition. The plan would create four government buildings in Maryland and Virginia, link with a circumferential highway, and raze some Washington offices, potentially costing up to a half billion dollars. Byrd argues against unnecessary spending and questions cabinet dispersal. A side exchange has Senators Russell Long and Homer Ferguson debating Byrd's independence within the Armed Services Committee.
