Nixon urges new pension legislation to boost worker retirement
President Nixon urged Congress to pass pension reforms to ensure full benefits from retirement plans and encourage individual retirement savings. The proposals would triple deductible personal contributions to 7500 dollars and offer 1500 dollars per worker, with employer contributions deductible within limits. Vesting protections would ensure benefits earned are available even after job loss. He plans to submit two bills, the Retirement Benefits Tax Act and the Employee Benefits Protection Act.
