Temporary Job Bill Rushed Through in Congress
Congress moves a 2.25 billion emergency public service jobs bill ahead of the July 4 recess as Nixon vetoes a larger public works plan. Senate approval came 75 to 11 with House action planned to precede recess. The measure aims to create 150,000 to 200,000 temporary state and local jobs, mostly in education, health, and public safety, with 90 percent funding by the federal government.
