Welfare reform push faces trade rider on Senate floor
Washington AP By Joe Hall supporters of President Nixon’s welfare reform seek a Senate floor vote on the family assistance plan ahead of a controversial trade rider. House and Senate actions on Social Security increases loom, with 10 percent rise approved by the Finance Committee and a 6 percent hike by the House. Senator Ribicoff pursues parliamentary routes to keep the welfare amendment alive and add a provision guaranteeing at least a 10 percent welfare saving for each state, altering cost shares from 50/20 to 90 percent of normal 1971 levels.
