Nixon Senate Education Battle Looms In 1973 Aid Plan
The Senate Labor and Public Welfare Committee approved a 35 billion dollar four year school aid bill, opposed by President Nixon who wants a two year plan with no increase. The measure would boost authorization to 4.34 billion this year, 5.18 billion next year, and 8.49 billion by 1974, and expand Title I aid for districts with low income families. Authorization and final appropriation differ, leaving full funding uncertain. The disagreement overlays current year education appropriations of about 19.7 billion, with Nixon expected to veto.
