Senate Approves Landmark Housing Bill For Low Income Buyers
The Senate backed a three year 5.3 billion bill to expand housing with federal interest subsidies and ownership programs. It envisions 480 000 low income families buying homes with subsidies covering most mortgage interest and down payments as low as 200 dollars. The measure also plans 425 000 new public housing units and 700 000 low rent units over three years. It creates riot and flood insurance and expands thrift institution powers while funding urban renewal and mass transit programs.
Foreign Spending Bill Approved as Record Low Aid
Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved a record low foreign aid authorization of 1.9459 billion for the current fiscal year, trimming 47.9 million from the House total. The bill, sent to the Senate floor 14 to 4, faced opposition from Morse Church Williams and Fulbright who voted against it. Fulbright used a proxy while campaigning for reelection. The committee modified a House directive to sell supersonic jets to Israel, opting for a sense of Congress urging steps to negotiate such a sale.
