Rules Committee sidetracks Kennedy aid bill for medical schools
The House Rules Committee deadlocked 7 to 7 on Kennedy's 237 million aid proposal for medical schools and students, with one administration supporter absent due to illness, leaving the bill open for possible resubmission after review of other school aid legislation. The panel also rejected measures on broadcasting committee hearings and on splitting Education and Labor, while voting down a plan to bar backdoor spending and another to permit rescinding unspent appropriations. The medical education bill had previously cleared the Commerce Committee after cost reductions.
