Secretary Laird warned that Soviet nuclear power is accelerating faster than projected while the United States presses submarine missile development to preserve a retaliatory edge.

Missouri Governor Warren E Hearnes criticized the Nixon administration workfare features of the welfare reform bill. He argued in a statement to Senator Russell Long that few recipients can work and that claims of cutting welfare rolls are a myth. He urged federal funding to be fully assumed with states administering programs to avoid disparities and administrative confusion.

Missouri Governor Proposes Welfare Floor Increase
Governor Hearnes calls for raising welfare payments, suggesting 2400 to 3000 per family of four with a 3000 floor, but warns against guaranteed floors if working poor are included. He seeks matching federal funds, cost of living adjustments, restricted HEW authority, Medicare Medicaid changes, and a push toward national universal health insurance. He warns rising welfare costs push states toward financial disaster and urges immediate federal relief.
