Senate Fends Off GOP Cut to Public Works Program
In Washington the Senate defeated a Republican bid to slice 200 million from a 450 million public works appropriation, backing Kennedy’s program and cementing the 450 million in a 1.5 billion funding bill. Senators Saltonstall and Dirksen led the challenge, while Cooper supported the plan as an unemployment tool. The body also approved two Humphrey amendments adding over 1.5 million for HEW television education and UN peace corps. The chamber rejected a ban on funds for programs involving segregation or racial discrimination and killed Javits’ rural housing for the elderly rider.
