Marriner S# Eccles, Chairman of the Board
Utah Construction & Mining Co#
Salt Lake City, Utah

Dear Mr. Eccles:
Enclosed are copies of two amendments which I
introduced the other day to the omnibus social security
and welfare bill now pending in the Finance Committee,
as well as my remarks in introducing them.
If you support these amendments, I think it would
be helpful if you were to communicate that support to
other Senators and especially to the Chairman and Members
of the Senate Finance Committee; it would also be helpful
if you could get others to do so as well. We would be
glad to provide you with more copies of the enclosed
materials if you need them. Peter Edelman of my staff
is available to discuss any questions that you may have
and to provide you with any materials you need.
I believe both of these amendments are extremely
important, the first to provide more adequate retirement
benefits under a sound system of financing, the second
to neutralize the restrictive actions of the House on
welfare and to start moving toward badly needed welfare
reform. Whatever you can do on these amendments would
therefore be most constructive.
Sincerely,

Robert F# Kenn
