Nixon to Sign Revenue Sharing Bill in Philadelphia
President Nixon travels to Philadelphia to sign a $30.2 billion revenue sharing bill, a central piece of his new federalism plan. The law allocates up to $6.4 billion yearly for states and localities, with $5.3 billion for 1972, and directs funds to welfare, safety, transportation, health, and environmental cleanup. Checks for retroactive payments will reach about 38,000 localities in early December.
