He told reporters Represen-

the House to appoint conferees

Labor Committee, would head
the House conferees.
II any member of the House
objects to sending the legisla-
ton to conference, the House
leadership probably would ask
the Rules Committee to act. II
the Rules Committee refuses to
move. an attempt could be made
to send the legislation to con-
ference under suspension of the
rules. requiring a two thirds
vote of the House.
Senate and House conferees
would try to reconcile the bill
cast by the House in June. The
Senate bill. sponsored by Sena-
tor Kennedy. the Democratic
presidential nominee. is much
broader than the House bill.
Despite the wide differences
between the two measures
which could produce a dead
lock in conference, Mr.. Ray
burn was optimistic. Il think II

about a month for a clemency

might be faster in this case be-
cause the family is in Moscow
awaiting the outcome.
The Moscow papers have

Powers case express sympathy
for them. This is a change
from earlier Russian express

by the Russians as a hateful
character.

nearly a page to an analysis of
the case. The Communist
