Congress Gets LBJ's Health and Education Bill
President Johnson asked Congress to approve a cradle to old age health and education program to aid poor children and elderly hospital care. He proposed a $50 million nutrition program for disadvantaged children and $329 million more for school meals, totaling a $379 million federal effort and aimed at redirecting child nutrition. He also urged a new advisory committee on alcoholism and a government research center, and directed John Gardner to start a low cost meal program for the elderly under an older Americans act. The plan faces opposition over a proposed 79 percent cut in subsidized school milk, while Johnson defends requiring those who can pay to help fund milk in lunches and notes many U.S. general hospitals are obsolete with about 260,000 beds.
