Congress pushed to finish a compromise federal election bill restoring public funding cut off since March 22, enabling subsidies for presidential hopefuls. The House planned a vote today with Senate action possible later. President Ford's position remained undecided. Sen. Hatfield praised the bill, urging Ford to sign, after White House talks with Rep.
