Tax Bill Clears Congress Amid GOP Backlash And Flood Plan
The tax bill won final congressional approval 242 to 89 despite House GOP opposition to the undistributed profits tax remnant. Republican critics say the measure lacks a proper program while supporters defend it as better than prior relief. Also approved in the House, a flood control bill funds the Denison reservoir project at 54 million dollars and related Arkansas and White River basin works. The tax bill reenacts much of current law, taxes undistributed profits with rates from 12.5 to 19 percent, and taxes capital gains with new holding-period rules. The measure now goes to President Roosevelt for signature.
