Carter seeks short term Social Security aid and tax reform
President Carter told the House Ways and Means Committee he seeks a financial boost for Social Security this year and hinted at short term use of federal tax funds to bolster the program while Congress works on broader welfare and tax reforms. He warned comprehensive changes may extend beyond 1977 and cautioned Congress is overworked. Blumenthal said the administration is widely consulting on tax reform as Carter anticipates presenting basic premises before October adjournment.
