House Approves 100 Million Refugee Aid for Cubans and Haitians
The House backed 100 million dollars to reimburse states and localities for aid to Cuban and Haitian refugees, barring use by felons or prostitutes. A separate move to cut 355 million from trade-adjustment funds failed. The relief bill totals 15 billion for FY 1980, ending Sept. 30, with Carter’s support and voice-vote approval.
