Riot-prevention fund proposed to ease urban tensions
Sens. Ribicoff and Percy unveil a $1 billion riot-prevention fund to speed flexible federal aid for urban initiatives. The plan allows up to five percent transfer of nondefense spending to grants for states and communities, prioritizing private industry, civic groups, and existing programs while avoiding a focus on job creation. Senate investigators remain divided over whether antipoverty funds fueled unrest, with calls for broader inquiry into social and economic factors behind riots.
