Welfare expansion bill passes Congress for Kennedy
Congress approved a $340 million welfare expansion aimed at self-help and state matching funds for old age assistance and the blind. The measure, sent to President Kennedy, includes a $4 per month increase in federal matching grants and revived programs ending June 30. Some senators linked Medicare debates to this bill, producing a tight vote and administration setbacks.
