Kennedy Antirecession Bill Advances Rapidly in House
The House approved a 1.0 billion emergency unemployment aid bill 392 to 30, boosting Kennedy's anti recession plan. Senate hearings by Byrd target mid March action with a White House goal by April 1 for up to 3 million unemployed to receive up to 13 extra weeks of benefits. Funding relies on treasury advances and a temporary payroll tax increase to 35 percent in 1962 and 1963.
