Abstract

WASHINGTON -- The House will not vote this week -- or probably even this year -- on legislation that would grant the District of Columbia a voting representative in Congress, Representative Steny H. Hoyer of Maryland, the House majority leader, said Tuesday. Mr. Hoyer said he was ''profoundly disappointed'' that Congress would not consider granting Washington's 600,000 residents a vote in the House. He conceded that it was unlikely that the bill would come up before the end of the current Congress. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
