Amtrak funding faces new federal aid and salary limits
Congress eyes 225 million in federal plants and 100 million in guaranteed loans for Amtrak to rescue the National Railroad Passenger Corp. A separate urban corridor plan adds 50 million in plants and 100 million in loans. A 50 thousand dollar salary cap for Amtrak officials may be imposed, while President Lewis earns 125 thousand annually. Senate and House conferees settle on 225 million with loan guarantees up to 1.2 billion through mid-1974, and remove a 15 million grant provision. The dispute over ceilings and service expansions continues as talks seek a final package.
