Storm of SST lobbying shakes House and Senate votes
Washington AP reports fierce lobbying on the SST program with 102 House members backing ending federal funding, 88 in favor of more money, and 29 undecided. Senate support for halting subsidies last year contrasts with House sentiment. Volpe plans to press new congressmen as critics push back citing noise and pollution concerns. The standoff may push funding decisions to next month. In Atlanta, the state Senate sends a King and Russell birthday holiday resolution to Rules Committee amid opposition.
