Kennedy Seeks Deeper Cuts in South Vietnam Aid
Sen. Edward M Kennedy pressed to lower the 12 month aid ceiling for South Vietnam to 750 million dollars. He faced firm opposition from Sen. Harold Hughes as the Armed Services Committee had already cut the 1975 request to 900 million, with Hughes warning of tighter funding next year. Kennedy contended South Vietnam has gained ground since the cease fire and warned Congress could add funds if Hanoi resumes aggression.

Not Widely Used SDE Pushes Free Summer Lunches
The State Department of Education aims to expand free summer lunch programs for low income children across New Mexico. About 70 000 kids receive lunches in schools, with 9 300 expected to continue this summer alongside recreational activities. The main barrier is local recreation program planning and June deadlines. programs partner with parks departments or community action agencies to deliver lunches at parks or camps, with buses used in Mora Valley. The program began in 1969 and has grown to ten sites, requiring at least 50 percent of children at a site to be needy.
