...entitled to the leadership. He declined, saying that he did not care for the post, and named Senator Curtis as his heir. Mr. Curtis was elected and empowered to choose a whip to serve under him.* The Commitee on Committees was reconstituted and instructed to oopose Republicans for vacant committee posts.
