Move to Hold Present Funds in Deficiency Relief Bill
Senate administration leaders seek to avert further cuts in the deficiency relief appropriation and favor the House approved 725 million funding. They would accept the 150 million reduction from the 875 million bill, hoping to avoid triggering broader cuts, with fears that restoring the original money could rally support to shrink the fund further. President Roosevelt’s stance factors into the reconciliation, and the current figure stands at about 600 million remaining to be resolved.
