President Proposes Milk and Lunch Budget Cuts
President Johnson proposes deep cuts in the school milk fund from 108 million to 21 million and in school lunch funds from 202 million to 183 million for the coming school year. If only 21 million is approved, milk reimbursement would require proof of parental poverty. The plan earmarks 6.5 million of the 183 million for needy schools, lowering aid for non needy schools by 25.5 million.

Participation grows roughly 5 percent yearly, and officials urge continued federal support for lunches and milk despite market surpluses or shortages.
