Nixon seeks to extend flood relief to private schools and colleges
President Nixon asked Congress on Wednesday to extend disaster relief and loans to about 40 private nonprofit educational institutions damaged by tropical storm Agnes and floods. He cited Wilkes College in Wilkes-Barre and noted private schools face losses over 19 million dollars, needing extraordinary aid to rebuild and reopen. The plan, tied to the Disaster Recovery Act of 1972, would include private Catholic institutions and would constrain funds for facilities used mainly for religious worship. The administration noted no constitutional issue in aiding religiously affiliated schools and emphasized relief is disaster aid, not education funding.
