Welfare Reforms Survive Committee
In Washington the Ways and Means Committee moves to clear a welfare reform bill aligned with the Nixon administration.

The plan would federally finance a $1,600 family support level, with state supplements up to $3,000 poverty level and 30 percent federal share, plus work incentives and training requirements. The National Governors Conference discusses revisions and a possible total federal cost shift.
