Washington space program authorization trims year’s budget
The Senate swiftly approved a 5.246 billion dollar authorization for NASA for the coming year, slightly above the House figure by 52 million dollars. This marks the first time in seven years that authorizing exceeds the prior year's budget by less than the actual appropriation, with actual funds to be set by a separate measure. The population clock shows the U.S. approaching 192 million, up from 180 million in 1960, while President Johnson lauds the GI Bill’s role in expanding veterans’ opportunities and postwar growth amid Wales’s Royal National Eisteddfod festival blending music, competition, and ceremony.
