Democrats push stalled public works bill with jobless relief
The article notes House Democrats backing a Senate bill to extend regional programs and Appalachian highway funding, with an accelerated public works provision added. They argue passing it would share credit between Democrats and the President if signed, while opposing veto would place blame on the administration. The measure would direct funds to redevelopment areas under the 1965 Economic Development Act.
