Congress ends 87th session as third largest spender
The 87th Congress, in its longest session since 1951, approved key Kennedy requests like reciprocal trade and pay raises while shelving federal aid to schools and aged health insurance. It faced prestige clashes between House and Senate over budget authority and closed with total appropriations of 101.3 billion, the third highest in history behind 1942 and 1943. Vice President Johnson urged Cuba policy aims at a Democratic dinner.
