Unemployment Bill Faces Delay In Senate Committee
President Kennedy's proposed $1 billion extension of unemployment benefits stalled in the Senate Finance Committee. Chairman Byrd warned it may extend into next week, jeopardizing a mid March action target to begin benefits by April 1. The plan would add up to 13 weeks of unemployment pay for about 600,000 workers, but a 39 week state cap drew opposition from several members.
