Civil Defense Funds Slashed by House Appropriations Panel
The House Appropriations Committee cut deep into civil defense space and science programs. It rejected the full 195 million for a nationwide fallout shelter plan and trimmed the overall 14.7 billion request to 13.1 billion for this fiscal year. The NASA allotment stood at 5.1 billion of 5.712 billion requested, with further cuts expected on the floor. The Veterans Administration received about 5.37 billion, including 1.08 billion for operating hospital beds and 3.92 billion for compensation and pensions.
