Narrow defeat signals end for anti-busing push in Senate
UPI reports a 49-47 defeat of a Roth anti-busing amendment within a $55.1 billion education bill. Critics say the vote marks a death knell for court-ordered desegregation buses as the chamber continues work on the measure. Senate also struck a $2.5 billion aid plan for private and parochial schools and eliminated impact aid for schools with federal housing project students. Senator Biden called the defeat a sign busing is finished.
