House Approves 5.566 Billion Bill with AEC Funds
The House prepared to pass a five billion five hundred sixty six million dollar spending bill for many federal agencies and the Atomic Energy Commission with full weapons program funding. Provisions for public housing were stripped, while attempts to revive public housing in a subsequent housing measure continue. The bill also funds Veterans Administration programs and major agencies, with AEC receiving all requested weapon and material funds as lawmakers push for a larger weapons stockpile.
