Issues
Housing and Urban Development Act of 1972 (S 3248). The vote is on the Allott amendment to delete $800 million in contract obligation authority to pay for urban mass transit operating expenses. Without federal aid to help pay operating expenses, subway and bus systems in many cities would be forced to shut down. The Nixon Administration supported the amendment. (Rejected 26-53. March 2, 1972. “No” is the correct vote.)
