they had discussed the Austrian

Asked if Austr& would be brought

| Two week END developments
cleared away some of the contro-
versy surrounding the measure but
left indications that approximately
a score of Senators will oppose the

These developments centered on
two statements by Chairman VAN

said yesterday he will accept an
amendment to the bill specifying
that the measure does not commit
the Government to support private
