House Shelves Food Stamp Plan Amid Farm Bill Debate
The House Agriculture Committee voted to table a bill to expand and permanentize the food stamp program, a key part of President Johnson's farm plan. The pilot program began in 1961, operates in 39 counties and three cities, and would not affect the widely supported Food for Peace program. The measure could be revived if a recon sideration motion gains traction.

Senate votes no on college parental tax credit proposal
Senate narrowly defeated an 4845 proposal for a special income tax credit for parents sending children to college. The Johnson administration backed the defeat as part of a larger $11.6 billion tax cut bill. Opponents warned the cost could reach $750 million in year one and force cuts to individual rate reductions, arguing the measure would miss the poorest families needing help.
