The sources said this was contained in a letter in which Nixon promised U.S. help in promoting an agreement on the canal as the first step toward an over-all peace settlement.

Education Lobby Will Ask More Federal School Aid WASHINGTON (UPI) — An Nixon asked for in his 1972 educetion lobby, rebuffed by th House in its attemptto increase federal aid to education by $728 million, indicated today it would push for an even higher increase when the issue comes to the Senate, probably in midMay. The House defeated the lobbying effort by four votes Wednesday and then passed to the Senate, 34 to 7, a #8 billion moneybill for the Office of Education. The House bill still was $131 million more than President pudget and $300 million more than what was appropriated for all the big federal aid to grade, high schools and colleges last year. The “Emergency Committee for Full Funding,” representing education associations in at least 25 states, had sought to repeat earlier successes by sharply increasing administration education spending plans, but lost on a 191 to 187 vote the $728 billion increase amendment introduced by Rep. William D, Hathaway, D-Maine. ‘ ‘ ‘ » |
