New Food Stamp Regs Cut 2 Million From Aid
Washington AP reports that two million of the 105 million food stamp recipients could lose part or all of their allotments under a new federal memorandum. The changes stem from Agriculture's interpretation of revised legislation, set to take effect within three days. Senator McGovern called hearings to press the department to ease the regulations while HEW figures suggest 340,000 could be ineligible and 1.7 million worse off, with some recipients possibly seeing higher benefits.

Washington AP The House Ways and Means Committee paused deliberations on a broad Social Security and Welfare reform bill amid talk of possible benefit increases next year and a second rise the following year.
