Senate OKs $4 Billion Public Works Bill in Unanimous Vote
The Senate approved a $4,030,010,605 Public Works appropriation bill with broad support and potential White House concerns. The measure backs the Atomic Energy Commission with $2,675,960,000 for nuclear programs, Army engineers $973,963,400, and the Reclamation Bureau $292,559,025 for flood control, navigation, and other projects. The bill would start 23 new projects and bolster 38 more, aligning with both chambers’ revisions amid prior veto threats and budget comparisons.
