Trouble Looms For Johnson Domestic Programs In House Vote
Washington AP reports House budget cutters show muscle on a test vote guiding the first domestic appropriations bill for the new fiscal year. The $7.5 billion measure funds Treasury, Post Office, and the president’s office while trimming requests and eyeing broader cuts next year. The Jones amendment proposing a 5 percent overall cut failed 217 to 168 as Republicans urged deeper reductions and Democrats split. Senate voices echoed calls to curb troop levels in Europe amid party leaders mapping spending targets across agencies.
