Senate approves 9.6 billion antipoverty bill with Legal Services plan
The Senate passed a 9.6 billion antipoverty bill expanding funding for programs aiding 26 million Americans in poverty. It sets up a Legal Services Corp as an independent entity, aiming to shield it from political pressure, amid veto threats from President Nixon. A conference with the House is planned after the July 17 recess. A gospel talent show is scheduled at Riverview Baptist Church at 4 p.m. Sunday.
