Appalachian Aid Bill Clears Congress for LBJ Signature
The administration's top priority Appalachian aid bill passed the House 257 to 165 after GOP amendments failed. Senate approval came last month and President Johnson was expected to sign promptly. The measure authorizes federal funds for 360 counties in 11 states to boost the economy, with most money for highways and access roads and other funding for health, land, mining, and water projects. Local cost shares range 20 to 40 percent for non-highway programs.
