Housing Bill Passes Senate Over Investor Fears
The Senate voted 72 to 13 to send the housing bill to President Bush after the House approved it. Sen. Grassley opposed. Sen. Harkin did not vote. Bush had withdrawn a veto threat over 3.9 billion in neighborhood grants, arguing lenders would benefit over homeowners. White House officials say Bush will sign despite concerns over lender funding. Sen. Dodd pressed for rapid foreclosure rescue implementation.
