Nevertheless, the Senate on Tuesday approved $200 million in emergency funds, twice the amount sought by the President.

"You said too much." Stein told Fox. Why did Fox say too much? Stein answered that "unless you have firm commitments" there should be no comments.

WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate was expected to pass a antipoverty bill today but it still needed to settle the fate of an independent corporation to run the Legal Services program for the poor. President Nixon originally favored the idea of such an agency but administration officials contend the Democratic-sponsored proposal is unacceptable. They say there have been many abuses by young lawyers in the program and that these will not be cured by the bill as it now stands. Republicans will make a second effort today -to knock the independent corporation out of the anti-poverty bill and leave Legal Services under the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO). They failed 46-37 in an initial attempt Monday.

It was agreed to take final action on the bill today after Sen. Robert C. Byrd. the acting majority leader, said he would not bring up the debt limit bill until the anti-poverty bill was passed. The debt limit bill is considered vital by the Nixon administration.

Byrd contended the Republicans were filibustering against the poverty legislation, which provides funds for programs run by the OEO for the next three years. It had been under debate a week.
