House Grants 310 Million for Rent Subsidy Funds
The House reluctantly approved 310 million to continue the rent subsidy program as part of two large compromise spending bills sent to the Senate. The package totals 14.73 billion, about 1.2 billion less than the President requested, and includes 10 million of the 40 million rent subsidy funding and 312 million of the 662 million for the model cities program. The vote followed a 198 to 184 roll call. The bills also fund NASA 4.589 billion with restrictions on Voyager and Nerva without further approval.
