Another development in the committee
was an agreement to postpone tho COM
pletion of the committees work on the
Cuban situation for a few days to afford
the President am opportunity TO com'
plete his diplomatic negotiations with

entire committee without dissent
Previous to this action on ;ho part of
.he committee. the President had been
frankly informed that neither the commit
tee nor the Senate would be disposed to

response that this government would not
press the matter
