Schlesinger to question the administration figures.

Newark Mayor Criticizes Welfare Reform Delay
Newark mayor Kenneth Gibson challenged President Carter over delays in funding for mass transit and welfare reform. He accused the administration of failing to earmark money and of submitting only a vague principles list, warning states and cities face postponed projects and no immediate relief despite energy proposals. Carter urged mayors to back energy plans in a Washington telephone address.
