House defeats aid hike in education budget
The House narrowly rejected a move to boost federal education aid beyond Nixon’s request, voting 954 to 7 against the measure that would add 729 million for various programs. The defeated amendment drew 173 Democrats and 14 Republicans opposed. The overall bill, sent to the Senate, grows spending by 167 million more than requested to help districts enrolling children of federal personnel, amid a looming 11.4 billion deficit. The story also notes China’s invitation to American table tennis players and a New York educator’s death, with ties to broader diplomacy.
