House Senate min income bill moves to Senate action
A historic welfare plan establishing a guaranteed minimum income for poor families cleared the House with strong White House support and bipartisan backing. It faces possible delay in the Senate, where Finance Committee Chairman Russell Long may defer action until next year. Mills says Long won’t block Senate consideration. The bill would set uniform federal payments for poor families, with job or training requirements for nonworking adults, and a $2,400 annual subsidy for a four-person jobless family.
