Procedurally, La lJ's motion
would send the legisla ibn to a joint
House-Senate conferen e committee.
Practically, it would almost kill the
bill's chances in this session of the
legislature. witch ends Nov. 30.-
Sen Charts Dougherty. (H-
Philadelphial, a principal backer of
the legislation, said he will oppose
Lamb's motion and press for final
approval of the House-passed bill.
"If Sen. Lamb can produce- the
votes, I guess we'll be . finished with
the busing issue for this sessioh and
we'll have to start all overlagain next
\January," Dougherty said:
Lamb, i D-Allegheny,) is retiring
from the legislature when the current
session expires. So -far he has
succeeded in preventing the volatile
busing issue from coming to a Senate
vote.
The Shapp adminig ration is be
lieved to oppose the antibusing
legislation, but Gov. Shapp skirted
the issue in his successful' re-election
campaign.

Senate Democrats,. said he expects a
busing vote this week.
"Sen. Lamb is practical enough to
recognize that theft , is substantial an
tibusing sentiment, and he just knows
there is no way of avoiding nor does
he intend to avoid the issue," Carocci
said.
Senate antibusing sentiment is
strong, according to Dougherty, but
he indicated that Lamb's success' in
postponing a vote until after the elec
tion has put the bill in jeopardy.
"A lot of the guys are off the hook
now," Dougherty said. "Before the
election a lot of them were on the line
with busing but you just don't have
the same constituent pressures now."
A wit . * variety of other bills need
legislative action in the next three
weeks or they're automatically dead
for the year.
They include tougher proposals
against conflicts of interest involving
lawmakers and other top state of
ficials, a series of bills to tighten the
state's campaign finance laws, and
revision of the process for Senate
