Congress Advances Near Billion Dollar Supplemental Bill
The House Appropriations Committee approved just under 1 billion dollars for a final catchall supplemental money bill funding Johnson anti-poverty food stamp and mass transit programs. The bill totals about 94 billion for the year, about 3.7 billion less than Johnson requested, though some savings are bookkeeping. It signals possible congressional halt and delays Appalachia development vote, with 13 million for civil rights work and education. Food stamp funds remain fully funded at 60 million, expanding to 60 new areas serving roughly 600,000 more people by June 30. The measure includes 75 million for transit grants, 2.5 million for loans, and 150,000 to tighten securities sales rules.
