Reagan signs student aid bill amid veto debate
President Reagan signed the student assistance bill while resisting a Congress veto over Education Department decisions. The measure preserves Pell grants at 1800 dollars, income limits up to 25000 dollars, needs tests for loans, 9 percent loans for grads, and restoration of aid for up to 50000 veterans. It aims to lock in benefits for over 5 million students next year and reduce dropouts. Critics say the president relies on surprise to curb costs, but supporters note a bipartisan push to broaden access to education.
