blocked by Representative Blanton.
Of Texas, who was dissatisfied with
Mapes' assurance that the House
would have an opportunity to vote
again on the question. Later.
Mapes secured unanimous consent
and the conferees were named.
Blanton wanted to know IL there
was any chance of the House con-
ferees agreeing to the Senate
amendment, which provides for the
retention Of the hslf-and-haf in

Mapes replied that he could not

that he wanted assurances that the

Thus far the promise of Chair,
