Senate Not Ready To Slash LBJ Budget
Washington AP Senate Appropriations Committee members show reluctance to follow a House budget measure. Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield supports discarding the directive to cut expenditures by about 6 to 8 billion dollars in the current fiscal year ending June 30, 1968. Republicans doubt the measure’s practicality but seek other methods to secure meaningful spending reductions. A further hearing was set as Budget Director Charles L. Schultze testified that legal interpretation would shape the impact, estimating cuts of roughly 6 to 8 billion dollars if the measure stands, with spending mostly held to last year’s level.
