Nixon Administration Pushes Federal Minimum Income Plan
The Nixon administration backs a federally assured minimum income for the poor, a core of the proposed welfare reform bill. Despite opposition from business groups and questions about cost, the House Ways and Means Committee approves it 22 to 3 with strong support from Wilbur Mills. The plan, evolving through debate since the 1960s, seeks to replace or reshape Aid to Dependent Children with an income maintenance system aiding the elderly, disabled, and working poor.
