Report from Washington. Poverty Bill, 1964 May 28

Senator Peter H. Dominick (R-Colo.) delivers his weekly radio address, Report from Washington, on May 28, 1964 . Sen. Dominick discusses topics including the scope of the Administration's proposal, its duplication of existing programs, and the lack of a requirement for state approval or participation in local programs. He notes that even without the $962.5 million appropriation requested, in FY 1965 the government will spend nearly $9 billion (excluding Social Security and other trust funds) addressing poverty through existing federal programs.
