He warned the 480 billion ceiling may suffice only for about a year and that another increase would be needed by February 1973.

Appeal Filed Over Voting Aids Rule in Texas
The state appeals a Dec 1 ruling by a three judge federal panel in San Antonio that requires the state to provide illiterate voters with assistance identical to that given to physically handicapped voters. The Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund led the class action challenging the Texas Election Code provisions. The state asks the Supreme Court to decide if the 14th Amendment Equal Protection Clause bars barring assistance and whether aid can continue for blind voters without extending coverage to illiterate voters.
