Congress Weighs Carter Energy Plan and Tax Bill
Congress returns to Washington to hear President Carter's energy program and decide on the long debated tax bill. The House passed rebates of 50 dollars but the Senate may delay action while considering whether to attach energy or other provisions. Republicans push for permanent tax cuts as Carter threatens a veto. The energy package reportedly includes gasoline tax increases, a $2,500 gas guzzler car levy, and incentives to conserve fuel. The tax bill likely keeps tax credits, earned income credit, and corp tax cuts through 1978, with simplified forms and new standard deductions for individuals and couples.
