Senate Restores Public Housing Funds in Broad Budget Bill
Senate tentatively approves a $457.4 million capital package funding 22 federal agencies for the fiscal year starting July 1, restoring 35 000 public housing starts cut by the House. The measure exceeds the House version by about seven million, trails Truman requests by over 500 million, and would boost FCC staffing by more than 600 thousand to speed TV station case hearings.
