Iowa Senator Seeks to Repeal 1972 ERA Ratification
Iowa State Sen. Eugene Hill leads a move to rescind the state’s 1972 ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment.

The Senate Finance Committee, urged by the Carter administration, voted against raising social security taxes this year. Chairman Russell Long said Health Secretary Califano’s concerns about undermining economic stimulus helped sway the decision. The panel instead endorsed a staged earnings test phaseout and a $500 million fund to start benefit increases, warning that without tax changes the system could face funding shortfalls.
