The motion was defeated 222 to 202, with the opposition composed of Southerners, border-state Democrats, a handful of Northern Democrats and Republicans from all sections of the country. The next test was on a Republican motion to substitute exclusion for the punishment proposed by Celler. Gaining strength, the anti-Powell group won this round 248 to 176.

One of Haile Selassie's principal aims in Washington was to ask President Johnson for more U.S. military aid to protect his borders. The Emperor, however, has not survived...
...multimillion-dollar line could ultimately carry almost 1,000,000 bbl. at a clip. It is buried six feet beneath the dunes in order to keep the oil liquid during the chill desert nights. The pipeline runs past a British airbase- and deliberately close to the Egyptian border. If necessary, British soldiers will thus be better able to guard against sabotage...
