President Seeks 300 Million for School Desegregation Fund
President Nixon asked Congress for a 300 million desegregation fund aimed largely at southern districts ending dual systems. Funds would also encourage voluntary desegregation in northern areas with high minority isolation and upgrade segregated schools. The plan, first outlined March 24, faces concerns over how much can actually be spent in 1971 and 1972, but officials say the money will be released and spent as appropriated.
