Johnson Faces Senate Resistance Over Lunch and Milk Subsidies
President Johnson's proposal to cut federal school lunch and school milk subsidies met sharp Senate opposition. Agriculture Secretary Freeman faced critical remarks from the Senate agriculture appropriations subcommittee led by Sen. Holland, with lawmakers vowing to restore cuts. Proposals would reduce milk subsidies from 100 million to 21 million, limited to needy schools and children. Other actions include Space Committee chairman Person urging NASA to outline post lunar goals, and Postmaster General O'Brien asking for larger parcel post packages and higher rates to reach self funding.
