Democrats Push Carter Jobs Plan Ahead of Inauguration
Democrats in the 94th Congress move to start Carter's jobs program with a $4 billion public works bill promising up to 600000 jobs as they shelve Ford tax-cut proposals and back a broader $15 billion stimulus package. Speaker ONeill says Congress must put Americans back to work while Carter coordinates with leaders in Plains. Senate leadership falls to Byrd as Humphrey exits race, Republicans pick Baker. House rules tightened to speed work.
