Erratum: Congress: Question of Reform Of Procedures Becomes an Issue

Abstract

In the News and Comment story on Congress ( Science , 18 Jan. 1963, page 201) three sentences in the third column should read: Rules Committee chairman Howard Smith of Virginia, who is known in the House by the Southern honorific "Judge," which is particularly appropriate in his case, has a special escape device at his disposal. His committee, unlike most other committees, does not have regular meeting times set. The Rules Committee's reputation as a place where education measures go to die is supported by the fact that of 22 bills held in the Rules Committee at the end of the last session, 16 had been reported out of the Education and Labor Committee and half were education bills.
