Compromise Lung Bill Clears House
The House passed a bill shifting black lung payments from the federal treasury to the coal industry and easing qualification rules. It drops the 25 year work requirement, gaining support from the Carter administration and United Mine Workers, with a 283 to 100 vote sent to the Senate despite coal industry opposition. The measure lowers monthly benefits to 175 to 400 dollars, depending on family size, and adds physician opinion as an eligibility path. The bill totals about 1.1 billion dollars annually.
