House Passes Shelter Proposal After Appeal by Rep. McCormack
The House approved President Kennedy's 190 million fall out shelter program after Speaker McCormack urged support. The bill authorizes 175 million in federal aid to spur shelter construction and 15.6 million for federal buildings, with passage by voice vote sending it to the Senate. Critics argued it expands federal spending, but GOP efforts to strip the federal incentive payments failed. Rep. Hebert said no discrimination would occur, and Rep. Teller's telegram framed civil defense as vital to national survival.
