Senate approves public works bill with Appalachian aid
The Senate passed a $5.5 billion public works measure sending the plan to the House on a 66 to 45 vote. Provisions include $2 billion for jobs in high unemployment areas, $1.5 billion for Appalachian regional development, $1.95 billion to assist local governments via loans and construction aid, and funding for five regional development commissions. Critics call it pork-barrel and warn of a veto, while supporters view it as a balanced nationwide effort to ease unemployment.

Former Defense Secretary Clifford says a Dec 31 withdrawal deadline could allow U.S. POWs to return within a month if North Vietnam and the Viet Cong would refrain from attacks. Representative Leggett echoes a possible release before the date, while White House and State Department officials caution against precipitous withdrawal. The debate coincides with House and Senate moves to cut war funding by year end.
