Senate rejects anti busing amendment in energy bill
The Senate defeated the Helms anti busing proposal 48 to 43 in a late 20th century vote, to bar federal aid to districts that refuse desegregation bus basing. Biden offered a weaker alternative to curb race based assignments while Brooke defended HEW authority. The move aimed to end busing as a desegregation tool but courts would still direct cases.
