White House Leads Drive Against Antipoverty Bill
Washington AP A White House led lobbying effort seeks to defeat a multibillion antipoverty bill in the House to avoid Nixon facing a signing or veto. The measure includes a child care program drawing strong civil rights labor and women’s support but fierce conservative opposition and would expand job training and legal services for the poor. The House aimed to delay a vote to December 2 to gather votes as leaders work with Ford and Southern Democrats to oppose the bill. The child care provision faces sharp criticism for potential parental abdication and government indoctrination concerns while the broader bill would extend OEO programs and create new services for low income families under a $4,320 income threshold with a sliding fee scale.
