Limited bill stalls mass transit plan in Senate clash
Senate Banking and Commerce Committee members Harrison Williams and John Tower undercut a House mass transit bill by backing a limited measure to fund continuing capital programs and operating subsidies for two years.

Welfare plan ties aid to job search under federal rule
The Ford administration proposed that poor people must seek work to receive welfare payments under the WIN program. The change covers about 12 million registered WIN participants and 800,000 new applicants this year, shifting registration to state offices and allowing intensive services to aid job referrals. A Welfare Rights official criticized the move as impossible in a tight labor market, noting unemployment was about 34 percent of the workforce in August and could rise with the slowdown. The rule will be published in the Federal Register with 30 days for public input, and will merge regulations from Labor and Health, Education and Welfare. The WIN program supports AFDC adults under 1987 Social Security Act amendments.
