Aid Bill For Arts Signed By Johnson In White House Ceremony
President Johnson signed an aid bill into law providing up to 21 million dollars over four years to support the arts and humanities. The measure creates a national foundation on arts and humanities to develop policy and coordinate two endowments for grants in the arts and humanities. Arthur Miller declined attendance at the signing over Viet Nam policy objections. The act marks a rare federal funding effort for the arts since the 1930s WPA era.
