- Share via
WASHINGTON — Congressional negotiators settled Wednesday on the Senate’s three-year, $1.5-billion version of President Clinton’s national service plan, setting up a final vote on the new program.
Aides said final consideration of the legislation will likely come Friday in both the House and Senate and Congress could send the measure to Clinton before beginning a scheduled monthlong recess this weekend.
The program would provide up to 47,000 students who complete two years of community service work $4,725 each year for college.
