Amendment UnoppOsed
The Senate adopted on ar
800 roll call vote an amend
ment to give the Secretary sub
poena power for investigation
of suspected violations of re-
quirements for unions to file

On a roll call of $50, the
Senate voted to require unions
to give their members reports

more detailed reports with the
Secretary as provided by the
committee bill. Mr.. Mitchell
also proposed this change.
Responding to Secretary
Mitchell's complaint that the
committee bill would fail tc
