House panel cuts funding for National Institute of Arthritis
A July 31 House vote reduced the National Institute of Arthritis and Metabolic Diseases FY1970 appropriation by 6.22 million, to 137.64 million, below the 1969 level and well under the 154.84 million urged by medical witnesses for cystic fibrosis and related programs. The Senate likely will restore funding, barring influence on Subcommittee on Appropriations members led by Magnuson. Nebraska residents urged Senators Curtis and Hruska to press for the higher figure. The note warns that lower funds threaten research and training, urging public messages to Congress.
