Carter forms cabinet as tax cut plans emerge
President-elect Jimmy Carter completed his 11 member Cabinet, with Cyrus Vance as secretary of state and Brock Adams as transportation chief. He said a tax cut and job program are likely parts of an economic package, aiming for a decision within a week to 10 days. Carter met economic advisers and planned to invite congressional leaders to align on proposals amid a sluggish economy. He also discussed New York City debt talks, a possible Brezhnev summit, and a new strategic arms treaty before expiration.

Case reviews cut violations slow across states
UPI reports state officials are cutting food stamp violations but about 745 ineligible "working poor" still collected an estimated 109.3 million in benefits in the first half of 1976 while 1.8 million eligible participants received 105.4 million in overpayments January through June. Nancy Snyders notes a improvement over late 1975 as officials review caseloads, with a quality control study of 40 096 family cases showing error rates among working poor. The report covers January–June 1976 and highlights state variability from 22.5 percent in Massachusetts to 1.5 percent in Wyoming.
