Guaranteed Income Debate Faces Congress in 1967 Session
The coming session of Congress will debate guaranteed minimum income, unlikely to pass early in 1967.

Critics say payment as a right could discourage work, while advocates cite liberal support. Kenneth B. Clark doubts substantial impact on slums, and Abraham Ribicoff favors guaranteed jobs over unconditional income.
