Iowa agencies to join in seeking federal grants
Two Iowa state agencies pledge to sign a working agreement to recover federal matching funds for vocational rehabilitation. Sen. Gaudineer said Iowa lost about 4.9 million over three years, a claim disputed by Johnston and Starkweather who noted 1969 funds are being earned. The plan targets full participation and a master agreement by September 1 to cover institutions under social services.
