Senate Committee Increases Flood Insurance Funding Boost
The Senate Appropriations Committee voted to add 62 million dollars to a House money bill, raising total funding to 142 million for flood insurance and strategic minerals purchases. The panel proposed 14 million of 50 requested by Eisenhower for a government flood program and debated USIA funding, education exchanges, FBI cuts, and State Department increases, with a later panel action approving a separate commerce measure at 613.6 million, well below House and Eisenhower goals.
