L. Mendel Rivers, D-S C., urged
the House today, in the inter-

drop its fight with President
Johnson over the controversial

The old language prompted
Johnson to veto the bill be-
cause it woud have permitted
almost an outright veto of ad
ministration decisions to shut
down domestic military bases.
Rivers told the House he had
received assurances from "the
