But it's no "snub of the British and the recent exchange of angry words across the Atlantic over foreign policy apparently had nothing to do with the reluctance of U. S. congressmen. Senate and house members indicated that none of them Is attending the glittering event either because of a "Snafu" in publicizing the British offer, personal reasons of the pressure of legislative business. Three house members and one senator did contemplate going to London for the ceremonies, but they canceled those plans for one reason or another during the past few weeks.

Other members of congress claimed they weren't aware of the offer although Martin announced it in the congressional record on MarcH 17. The legislators just overlooked the notice.
