Bush pushes pension protection to blunt voter anger
President Bush plans a national radio address to push pension protection and criticize Democrats ahead of the November elections. He will spotlight a law barring executives from selling company stock in pension plans when workers cannot, and announce Labor Department rules giving 30 days notice before stock blackouts. The issue ties to stock declines affecting 401(k)s, with 40 million Americans exposed. House Democrats urge stronger policies, while some Bush proposals progress despite Senate delays.
