Guaranteed Income Plan Dies In Senate
The Senate defeated a liberal-backed welfare reform proposal that would guarantee income for all poor families. Sen Ribicoff's bill would give a family of four about 2600, while Nixon’s plan offered 2400. The vote signals no nationwide welfare solution this year, with further testing of competing proposals likely.
