Monday was delayed in reaching the House floor, a sign of lingering opposition to the $13 million venture. A move to reconstitute a House select committee i i a i assassinations was delayed for one day because of the objections" of a Maryland lawmaker responsible lor cutting off its funding earlier this month. A resolution setting up the panel is due before the House Rules Committee on Tuesday and Rep. James Delaney, DN.Y., the rules a i a unanimous consent to be given until midnight that day to file a report so the measure could come before the House on Wednesday. House rules require a report from the Delaney committee to lay over one day before it can come to the floor.

Rep. Robert Bauman, R- objected to Delaney's request, meaning the resolution will come before the House on Thursday rather than Wednesday. "We should have at least a day to study the rules committee hearings and decide on what amendments we want to offer," said Bauman. On the opening day of Congress, Bauman objected to a unanimous consent request to reconstitute the committee on a stop-gap basis until a formal resolution could be passed. Since then, several members of Congress have indicated objections to the price tag the dual probes carry.

The committee was created last year and investigations have begun but its future was jeopardized when it asked for a 513 million, two-year budget -part of which would be used to purchase telephone eavesdropping equipment. Bauman and other members objected both to the size of the planned budget and the methods of investigation. They have blocked moves to automatically recreate the committee without a chance to offer amendments to limit its cost and scope. Delaney told Bauman he was confident the rules panel would clear the resolution for floor action under an "open rule." which would permit off i a ments.
