House Again Demands Tax Cut Be Matched By Spending Cuts
The House rejected a $10 billion income tax surcharge without $6 billion in spending cuts. A 232 187 vote defeated a motion to scale the package back to a $4 billion cut. Johnson favored a package combining a 10 per cent surtax with a $6 billion year spending reduction, with an $8 billion proposal to trim leftovers. A showdown vote was tentatively set for June 32, with the Senate having approved a similar form. House leaders faced a strong opposition and narrow majority.
