Labor opposed cargo preference bill defeats in House
Organized Labor failed to pass the cargo preference measure in the House, despite hopeful lobby aims. The bill would have required 9.5 percent of U S oil imports on U S flag tankers, raising Virginia prices by about 0.7 percent and reducing after tax family income by 31 dollars annually. The vote was 257 to 165 on a voice tally, then a stand up recorded count, with eight of Virginia's delegation including Rep. J Kenneth Robinson opposing the measure. Opponents hope for Senate reversal next year.
