Nixon Welfare Reform Bill Faces GOP Hurdles in Senate
President Nixon pushes the Family Assistance Plan a guaranteed annual income for the poor as the Senate Finance Committee opens executive hearings.

Heated water discharge faces EPA standards battle in Illinois
Johns Hopkins oceanographer Dr. Donald W. Pritchard testified for Commonwealth Edison before the Illinois Pollution Control Board that lake life can tolerate water up to 20 degrees warmer than normal. He argued Edison’s plan to return cooling water would not measurably raise Lake Michigan temperatures, while federal proposals seek only one degree. If adopted, the stricter rule would force redesign of the 2.2 gigawatt Zion plant.
