But Prouty's pet, though watered down, remained. As finally approved by the conference, it would 1) provide $35 monthly for individuals, $52.50 for couples; 2) benefit only persons who are 72 or older or who reach that age by Jan. 1, 1968, and are not receiving a specified amount of Government assistance from other sources; and 3) finance the plan by borrowing from social security trust funds, so as not to cut into the tax bill...
