Nixon seeks 1.8 billion flood relief bill amid storms
The Senate's inaction threatens to delay President Nixon's flood aid package for Rapid City and the East Coast. House leaders pressed for quick action on the 1.8 billion proposal with 5 000 loan provisions and 1 percent interest as parliamentary maneuvering complicated the bill’s fate.
House considers disaster loans as amendments move forward
Democratic leader Hale Boggs said Nixon disaster loan proposals may reach a Senate committee next Tuesday as amendments to a related bill passed by the House on June 29. If revised and accepted, the House could approve or send to a conference for compromise. The Banking Committee urged against a new bill covering Agnes and South Dakota flood relief to avoid delays.
