—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 28, 1972 18 In the closing hours of the 92nd Congress, Social Security Amendments were one of the major things under con sideration. Most of these amendments had first passed the House of Representatives last year as a part of the bill H.R. 1. But you may remember that H.R. 1 also contained the Ad ministration’s controversial welfare program when it passed the House. The Senate tied the bill up debating the welfare provisions. Therefore, we came down to the last minute before HR. 1 received final consideration and then only because the welfare provisions were totally eliminated from the legislation Even without the welfare sections, HR 1 was a major bill because it expanded Social Security and Medicare benefits and increased payroll taxes to pay for them Since there is sure to be wide general interest in some of these changes, I thought this column should be used to outline some of the major provisions in the legislation The minimum monthly benefit for certain Social Security t Rugged Construction Solid Concrete Walls \ Steel Reinforced INfERN ATM STAR SILO ASSOCIATION.
