Carter proposes shifting Social Security funding to Treasury revenues
President Carter asks Congress to replenish Social Security trust funds from general revenues when unemployment tops six percent to counter the business cycle and protect the trust’s financial integrity. Democrats and Republicans warn this risks weakening the system’s self funding principle while other package ideas aim to curb deficits by century’s end.

Cuban exiles sour note at jazz sendoff for Havana ship
Several hundred Cuban exiles led by Fidel Castro’s sister Juanita joined American demonstrators near the New Orleans dock as the MTS Daphne sailed toward Havana with Jazz Greats Dizzy Gillespie Earl Hines and Roberta Flack aboard. Exiles urged President Carter to press human rights while critics warned against using a cruise ship as a political vehicle. The eight deck liner, first from the United States to Cuba since 1961, carries about 400 tourists and faces Cuban restrictions on independent shore ventures during a two-day Havana stay before Nassau and return flights to New Orleans.
