One controversy started even before the senate, by a 57 to 22 vote, passed its finance committee's bill late yesterday at the end of only two days of debate.

It centered around an amendment, which the senate approved at the urging of Senator Borah (It-Idaho) to prohibit the federal government from isuing any more tax exempt securities in the future.
