State of Siege Request Wins Test Vote in Brazil
Congressmen backing a declaration of a state of siege won a test vote in the Chamber of Deputies by 162 to 69 to decide on final passage. The measure would grant President Nereu Ramos wide powers to cope with political strife and would go to the Senate after final passage.
