Social Security Bill of 1971 Shares Senate Wrangles
The Social Security bill HR 1 introduced in 1971 moves slowly through Congress amid wrangling in the Senate Finance Committee. A 386 page reference book by the Government Printing Office details amendments, with expected action into summer 1972. Retirees would see benefit changes including a five percent cut in June 1972 and automatic increases tied to the Consumer Price Index. Public discussion links to aging policy and the White House Conference on Aging.
