McCormack to be platform writer
Washington (AP) –
House Majority Leader McCormack (D-MA) was reported to be the choice to head the Resolutions Subcommittee that will write the Democratic Party platform.
His selection is expected to be announced late today by the Democratic National Committee, along with the rest of the subcommittee memberships. As head of the subcommittee, McCormack would be in line for chairmanship of the full Resolutions Committee at the convention opening July 19 in Chicago.
McCormack, now in Massachusetts, is expected to get the subcommittee together in Chicago a few days before the convention opens for preliminary work on the platform.
