House rejects big hike in federal education aid
The House narrowly defeated an effort to boost federal education aid beyond Nixon’s request, voting 354 to 7 for a $4.8 billion Education Office bill sent to the Senate. An amendment to add $728 million failed 191 to 187, while the bill to aid districts with federal personnel received opposition tied to a looming budget deficit and prior vetoes.
