Senate Votes 43-21 to Authorize Rural Development Grants
The Senate rejected Dirksen’s call to curb Great Society spending and passed a bill authorizing rural development planning grants by a 43-21 vote. Ellender said the plan extends urban planning assistance to rural areas to attract industry and curb rural exodus, with amendments limiting funding and tying grants to urban-planning dollars. The measure allows grants up to 75 percent of costs plus incentives, and outlines eligible planning activities nationwide.
