I can to insure getting this report
out of conference SOON.
Once the report is issued, it still
must be reapproved by each House.
A report is privileged matter and
may be brought up at any time. 1t
requires only simple majority ap-
oroval to pass.
Masaoka said there was no doubt
in his mind action would be taken
within the reasonably near future on
the resolution. This is a particu-
'arly disturbed period in Congress,
he pointed out. Legislation deal
ing with the effects of the Korean
situation have top priority.
Not until such action begins to
settle will Congress be in a mood to
tackle many of the other issues
which it has on hand.
He urged supporters of the Walter
Resolution to be patient. Now it
is only a matter of tome until this
measure becomes law.
