Senate approves landmark safety bill for 80 million workers
The Senate passed an 82 to 3 vote on a broad safety bill sending it to the House for action in the current rump session. It would establish the first national program to raise health and safety standards, include a three member presidentially named commission, and create the National Institute of Safety and Health. Supporters stress lives saved and injuries prevented while critics push Nixon substitutes to curb federal power. The measure targets 14 500 annual deaths and 2.2 million injuries across industry and would let states adopt tougher standards if at least as effective as federal rules. Memorial wreaths and other veterans notices conclude the page.
