House Unit Bill Lacks Busing Ban
Washington AP Nixon backed desegregation measure cleared by the House Education and Labor Committee without the proposed ban on busing. The panel watered down and then killed an amendment aimed at blocking use of the $1.5 billion all federal aid for bus programs. The bill passed 24 to 3 and moves toward a floor fight as the Senate earlier approved a different version. Representatives O’Hair and Ford, who assisted in stalling action, and Rep. Biaggi voted against. The plan would allocate funds to districts under court orders or pursuing desegregation plans for various uses toward desegregation goals.
