Democrats Question Nixon Budget Skeptics Cite Water and Education Gaps
Democratic critics in Congress challenge President Nixon's budget claiming it offers little for water pollution and education. They cite a $10 billion education program with only $800 million in new federal funds next year and a $4 billion federal share.
