Senate Panel Drops 10 Percent Excess Profits Tax Plan
The Senate finance committee voted to remove a 10 percent excess profits levy on certain corporations from the 3.6 billion revenue bill, cutting projected annual yield by about 50 million dollars.

The committee kept current methods for computing excess profits, leaving the average earnings and invested capital bases options intact.
