...borrowed a leaf from the Missouri Plan by appointing a seven-man (three lawyers, three laymen, one judge) Judicial Nominating Commission to recommend candidates (all vacancies are in Philadelphia). The judges Scranton finally chooses will face the voters when their terms run out, but they can expect the bipartisan support now given to most Philadelphia judges. By specifying that the nominating commission is to list three names for each vacancy, Scranton should avoid the unhappy quandary of New York's Mayor Wagner, who set up a similar committee two years ago, but is now quarreling bitterly with...
...foreign aid program, the situation may already have gone beyond remedy by words, no matter how reasonable. Not even a bipartisan effort by the Senate's leaders could stem the anti-foreign aid tide. In the vain hope of preventing worse cuts, Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield and G.O.P.

You do that, and you'll get Republicans to vote...
...leverage on this thing now and I don't think we'll get anywhere unless we use it." The Republicans quickly came to a decision, and Halleck delivered it to President Kennedy. In effect, it was an ultimatum saying that unless the President backed a bipartisan bill encompassing G.O.P. civil rights proposals, Republicans would do nothing to stop Judiciary Committee approval of the too-tough subcommittee bill...
