Congress Denies Funds For Student Interns
The House voted 66 to 14 to cut 27 000 dollars yearly for summer interns with each member losing one paid intern since 1965. Supporters blamed wartime activism and poor conduct, while opponents argued the move punishes a group learning in Congress. The bill, totaling 247.5 million, cleared the House 360 to 22 and goes to the Senate.
