Identifier: CAC_CC_004_10_144_6B_0006
The letter from Congressman Page Belcher to Mr. Harry D. Turner discusses the Guaranteed Minimum Income bill (S. 5) and expresses opposition to the idea of American taxpayers financing the entire cost of the program. Belcher believes in individuals using their own abilities and incentives, and encloses an article detailing potential negative effects of the legislation. Turner's earlier letter to President Nixon expresses concerns about the concept of guaranteed minimum income and questions the idea of supporting individuals who are not truly in need.
