Compromise Would Freeze Court Busing Orders 18 Months
House and Senate conferees approve a compromise to halt court busing orders for 18 months as part of a $20 billion higher education bill. The agreement softens antibusing amendments while aiming to desegregate schools, create an education research institute, and provide $1.5 billion in aid. The measure faces further House approval as civil rights groups push for stronger desegregation and the timetable remains uncertain.
