The civil rights amendment failed 14 to 14, followed by a 24 to 30 vote for a pared-down bill authorizing aid for low income areas. Democrats aimed to preserve funds while cutting about 100 million from the 455 million package, targeting private enterprise and local communities in low-spirits areas.
