Powell's Committee OKs Poverty Funds
Washington DC Democrats push President Johnson's 1.5 billion war on poverty bill through the House Education and Labor Committee despite GOP opposition. The plan would allow doubling anti poverty spending with 638 million for community action, 609.5 million for youth programs, 220 million for adult training and loans, and 24.5 million for a volunteer corps. The only major change was repealing governors veto power over community action and youth corps while retaining their say on volunteer importation and Job Corps locations. The measure passed by voice vote amid party line splits.
