P lan L e g isla tio n w hich w ould be
goram ine— as an am endm ent. So
ta r as I am concerned. I wish
th a t le g isla tio n w ould come to
the floor and be voted one w ay

settled. I have a hunch, however,
th a t some m embers w ould not
lik e to stand and be counted on
th a t proposal.

M a n y people m ust have been
puzzled and disappointed when
the House refused to vote to sus-
pend the rules and pass some
needed and desirable am endm ents
to the social s e c u rity act.. T w o
th in g s re g a rd in g th a t vote and
th a t b ill should be borne in m ind.
F irs t, the good prin cip le s in the
b ill are not dead but can be voted
upon again, and p ro b a b ly fa v o r
ably, i f the a d m in is tra tio n lead

< ia liz in g section o f i t — language
