Ike and Congress clash over state aid to highways and unemployment
Congressional changes shift highway funding to 90 percent federal aid for the Interstate system and 63 percent for primary state roads. Eisenhower signs the bill for now, with June 30 1959 as the limit. Senate plans 16 weeks of unemployment aid at up to 44 dollars weekly, costing about 1.5 billion. Debate centers on federal versus state responsibility and impact on state welfare initiatives.
