Welfare bill compromise reached by House Senate conferees
House and Senate conferees agreed on a welfare and social security compromise while reopening stalled talks on the spending ceiling sought by President Nixon. The deal drops major reforms including the Family Assistance Plan but retains increased Social Security benefits and Medicare coverage for disabled persons, with higher payroll taxes to fund them. Some highway funds remain tied to mass transit disputes and a broader cost-cutting package faces partisan resistance. The White House and Congress eyed possible adjournment as talks continued.
