They accuse Congress and the President of neglect and call for urgent action to protect Social Security and pensions.

McCormack Targeted as Nixon Probe Sparks Denials
The Nixon Administration faced questions over a criminal probe into former Speaker John McCormack as two U.S. Attorneys met him at Providence Hospital amid his wife Harriet’s illness. Investigators questioned McCormack about a Navy hardship discharge for a relative, while White House aide Ron Ziegler denied any inquiry. The affair drew subpoenas to close associates and records, with prosecutors yielding no proof of payoffs. McCormack’s finances appeared modest at about $100,000 net worth.
