Block grant proposal could be disastrous for the poor

States weigh reduced highway funds under Reagan plan
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration official Chuck Livingston says states will decide spending with reduced federal highway safety funds. Iowa figures 72 workers in drunk driving crackdowns, 16 in Linn County, as budget aims to boost enforcement and relax 50 percent compliance with 55 mph rule for funds. William Miller notes two weeks to gauge full impact on highway safety and other programs. Kennedy proposed a $5.7 billion education aid plan twenty years ago.
