flooded with requests for time By
witnesses Of all sorts. Hearings
continued.
Senator Williams (R-Del), a
committee member, said he did not
see how the group could possibly
get its version Of the bill To the
floor before September.
This undoubtedly would mean
the measure could not become law
before October or November. Will
