Rent supplement provision sails through Senate vote
The rent supplement provision, approved by the Senate, authorizes annual appropriations up to 150 million for subsidies aiding low income families. Senate action reversed an earlier move to cut 12 million from the program. Senator Randolph praised the plan as vital to housing needs, while a House version allowing local vetoes over projects sparked liberal opposition. The measure passed 72 to 12 and moves to a House Senate conference. Johnson originally sought 30 million to start the program.
