Welfare Bill Wins Approval
The House advanced a 30.5 billion dollar appropriations bill for Labor and Health Education and Welfare amid predictions of a presidential veto. It would raise the budget beyond the request, with a social services funding plan tied to population and welfare delivery. The measure, backing education and health, heads to the Senate where veto chances appear unlikely. A separate 13.4 billion dollar bill for Agriculture and environmental programs also cleared the House, with possible veto risk. The Appropriations Committee also endorsed 1.59 billion for Tropical Storm Agnes emergency aid.

Senate approves handgun sale ban amid uncertain House fate
The Senate passed a bill 68 to 25 to restrict easily concealable handguns including “Saturday night specials.” Texas Senators Bentsen and Tower opposed. Chief sponsor Birch Bayh said it would remove common crime weapons from the market, while Bush argued it would have blocked guns used in notable assassinations. The measure targets cheap pistols but leaves private ownership and existing inventories largely unaffected. The Senate also added crimes for targeting police and other protections, and rejected calls to outlaw private gun ownership or require registrations.
