The amended Nixon family assistance plan gains Senate sponsorship by Sen. Ribicoff and Sen. Bennett to attach to a Social Security bill. The move follows a Finance Committee vote for a two year test and shifts in tax schedules. Aimed at a $1,600 minimum for a family of four, the measure adds public works jobs, coverage for unemployed fathers, and 90 percent fed funding above 90 percent of state welfare costs in 1971.
