Kennedy Victory in Senate Housing Bill Battle
President Kennedy won final Senate passage of the $0.14 billion housing bill after a marathon session. Gore's amendment to strike a 40 year mortgage was defeated, Sparkman’s counteroffer restored the measure with a down payment rule of likely $555 on a $15,000 home, and voting split showed broad party lines. The bill preserves most housing programs Kennedy sought while easing passage for approval in the House.
