senator Dickey thought there was
no use in taking mp time with the bill.
as the House would not pass any APP
preparation bill within the time.

by prominent member OF the House
that the Appropriation bill had passed
first reading there and there was a
good chance for subsequent readings.

Senate proceed with second readings
OF House bills. That was all It had
time to do.

keeping their own skirts clear. They

done in the United States Senate. the
hands of the clock might be set back
