Impasse Set Over Welfare Bill Veto Looms in Election Year
Washington AP reports Congress sent President Nixon a 30.5 billion welfare appropriations bill that exceeds his request by 1.7 billion and leaves a loophole that could trigger soaring costs. The Senate approved 62 to 22 and sent the compromise measure to the White House. HEW and Labor Dept funding rose above admin requests, while the House-Senate deal cut nearly a billion from earlier Senate totals. The loophole could allow a 40 billion price tag, prompting HEW Secretary Richardson to urge veto due to seriousness. Republican leaders expect Nixon to veto the larger bill.
