New Rules Proposes
Radical changes in the method of
controlling Senate legislation and
committees which formed the basis
for the so called progressive Demo
cratic reorganization fight, begun last
December, were approved by the
Democratic managers and will be Of
fered 70 adoption by the caucus.
These recommendation are:
All committee chairmen shall be
elected by the Democratic members
Of the committees. The practice has
been for the steering" committee to
appoint all chairmen.
A majority of the Democratic mem.
bers OF any committee may call
meeting of that committee at any
time.
Members of conference commit
tees" shallb elected by the Demo
cratic majority of the committee hay
ing charge of the legislation in ques-
ton.
Steering" committee members
shall be selected by the Democratic
caucus instead of through appoint
ment by the caucus chairman.
Appointments by the steering"
committee to fill vacancies on all
Senate committees must be passed
on by the full caucus.
The recommendations to be made
constitute important departures from
the practice that has prevailed in the
Senate and are similar in many ways
to the changes that We're made in the
House at the beginning of the last
| Congress.
