Lawmakers wary of Social Security plan in Illinois
U S Rep Paul Simon of Carbondale says he supports parts of President Reagan’s Social Security reform plan but finds the 62 age early retirement cut to 55 percent too severe. He warns the system may run out by mid-1983 and stresses preserving the trust fund. Senators Percy and Dixon aides express cautious study and concern over benefit cuts and CPI changes.
