Congress Kicks LBJ Budget Up and Down
Congress stepped the 1967 budget through mixed votes. The House approved a $10.55 billion appropriations bill adding $232.8 million for school districts across about 350 districts, but rejected $31.3 million for a national Teachers Corps. A separate Appropriations panel proposed a $14.31 billion bill omitting rent subsidies and Project Mohole. Notably, the Teachers Corps funding remained unresolved with emergency money potentially keeping it alive through June 30.

Representatives from eight large Christian denominations agreed on rudiments for a united church in Dallas. The interdenominational gathering adopted principles on faith worship sacraments and ministry as a foundation for a detailed plan to be pursued with denominational authorizations over at least five years. The move aims to unify Protestant bodies with more than 24 million members. The effort was hailed as a historic breakthrough.
