Reagan backs plan to rescue Social Security package
Drafters of a 169 billion dollar Social Security reform package say bipartisan support from President Reagan and House Speaker O'Neill could push it through Congress despite broad opposition. The plan speeds up payroll tax increases, taxes benefits for upper and middle income retirees, delays July cost of living adjustments, and extends coverage to federal workers from 1984. Officials stress the package would help keep the system in the black for decades, with hearings set to begin February 1 and House action anticipated in March.
