Senate 0k z d His
Welfare Package
The U. S. Senate’s adoption
of the Social .Security Amend
ments at 1970 provides for
“the only real welfare reform
legislation to be passed by
either bouse of Congress” m
the year just enoed, Observed
Georgia’s Sen. Herman E. Tal
madge,
He also expressed pleasure
that the Senate acted oefcire
adjournment to provide Social
Security increases for 26 mii
licn retired Americans and ad
ditional benefits for the aged,
blind and disabled.
"Tris action was made p»-
sible by the spirit of rxr.pro
mise on the part al serjators
w'ho were willteg to forego con
sideration of controversial
amestanents to H. R. 17550,”
Sen. Talmadge said.
Although the Senate did not
approve the Family Assistance
Plan of the Presided, Tal
madge said the Senate "took, a
major step toward true welfare
reform by adopting my package
of amendtoents to the Work
Incentive Program.”
Sen. Talmadge objected to
charges that the Senate tas
not acted on welfare reform
by pointing to various reforms
of his amendment, which he
said was designed to get people
“off the welfare roils and on
to payrolls.”
The Talmadge amendment,
introduced last July 26 and
approved by the Finance Com
mittee Dec. 3, mates 10 major
changes in the Wart incentive
Program. The «?> Program

Sen. Talmadge said that bis
amendment is desigred to ful
fill de promise of the Wort
Incentive Program by forcing
the edn.:;.jtrat.antoimptem>ent
tie program, “b? eliminating
bureaucratic red tape, by raan
tating s®te cooperation, and
by providing a tax incentive
to busmesses which hire people
off the welfare rolls,”
He expressed dismay at
‘Weaucratic oungling which
tas typified the Work Incentive
Program over the past three
.■ears.” His amendment will
require that the Wwk Incentive
