House Votes To Cut LBJ Spending
In Washington the House approved a spending cut package tied to an emergency funding bill. The measure, 233 to 164, would cap agency outlays near last year’s levels with exceptions for Vietnam, military pay, veterans benefits, debt interest, highway and social programs. The plan aims for roughly a seven billion dollar reduction, though Vietnam and other items are exempted. Debates linger over Senate changes and a looming Monday deadline.
