Desgregation Bill Staged For Swift House Action
In Washington Speaker Carl Albert seeks to push a 1.5 billion school desegregation bill through the House with minimal debate and no amendments, under a two thirds vote requirement. The plan aims to avoid Northern liberal voters facing a busing vote while still funding districts to desegregate. The measure, called the Emergency School Assistance Program, would provide 500 million this year and 1 billion next year for programs, training, and other costs, though a Nixon ban on funds for busing creates political tension. The Senate version lacks a busing prohibition, and the House may follow suit, shifting the busing decision back to the president’s discretion.
