Sen. Edward M. Kennedy said health reform remains the missing promise in President Carter’s domestic program. Speaking at the United Auto Workers national convention in Los Angeles, he credited progress on energy tax and welfare reform but urged a firm commitment to comprehensive health reform with a target year for a national health insurance bill. He urged timely action despite complex issues.

Carter probes budget pledge in Albany town meeting
President Carter faced criticism from Rep. Ron Dellums who accused him of breaking a campaign vow to cut military outlays. Dellums argued the proposed rise from 116 to 129 billion would not deter the Russians and urged redirecting funds to human services. He cited government travel to Walter Reed and Bethesda for free care as evidence of double standards. Kennedy echoed that if lawmakers endorse generous measures, workers including UAW would benefit as taxpayers foot the bill.
