Cash Assistance Proposed To Replace Food Stamps
HEW Secretary Robert H. Finch told Congress the administration will propose direct cash assistance for welfare recipients in the next months, replacing food stamps. President Nixon urged expansion of the program and aid to the poor, costing about 2.5 billion by 1971 with extra funding for food stamps in 1970. Finch argued cash income preserves dignity and aims to rationalize welfare, while food stamps should still expand until major reforms arrive. Clifford Hardin also testified to the Senate committee led by Senator George S McGovern.
