Senate Battle Over Busing Sparks Interstate Debate
The Senate weighs busing during school integration as Southern lawmakers denounce federal mandates while Northern members defend HEW policy. A $22 billion appropriations bill includes Whitten amendments to limit HEW busing, drawing sharp rebukes from Ervin Stennis and Gurney as Panetta defends current policies. The tally aims for a 12:30 p.m. EST vote with potential adding funds for education and health aid.
