House and State Department failed to stem the anti-Nasser revolt by House members. Speaker of the House John McCormack. Massachu¬ setts Democrat, appealed in vain for defeat of the amendment. He said the amendment would hamper the President in conducting foreign relations and tie his hands in deal¬ ing with Egypt.
The bill now goes tn the Senate, where a number of Senators of t)oth parties are already on record against further aid to the Nasser regime. If the amendment is re¬ tained by the Senate. President Johnson would be forced to veto his entire agricultural appropria¬ tions bill to kill it.
The State Department was de¬ scribed by informed sources as "furious" over the House vote and is said to have voiced apprehension lest the House alone "drive Nasser into a real frenzy of anti-American actions."
In a meeting of Senators held in executive session, Secretary of State Rusk, aided by Chairman J.W. Fulbright of the Senate For¬ eign Relations Committee, made a plea for the defeat by Senate of the amendment passed by the House.
Meeting with the hurridly assem¬ bled Senators. Mr. Rusk said the amendment would "usurp" the role of President Johnson in making for¬ eign policy. Mr. Rusk sought to portray Nasser in a more favorable light, and asked the Senators to consider the future of Egyptian- American relations.
Chairman Fulbright. presided at the meeting and strongly supported Mr.  Rusk's   position.   He  said  he
