A House appropriations subcommittee cut the first year to one point six twelve billion, with two point one eight billion authorized for 1969.

Lorain County Commissioner J Norman Thompson explains the rationale as taxpayer involvement, with remaining areas kept under nonprofit groups. Rep Charles Mosher voted against the plan for fear of reducing poverty programs.
