LBJ travel tax proposal gains congressional backing
The Johnson travel tax plan, facing criticisms as discriminatory and complex, appears to have strong support on Capitol Hill. The House Ways and Means Committee hearings focus on reducing the U.S. balance of payments deficit by about $500 million yearly, with Henry Fowler leading administration testimony. The proposal would tax U S travelers’ overseas spending, with 0 to 7 dollars free, 15 percent on the next eight dollars, and 30 percent above fifteen, plus a 5 percent excise on international fares and water transport outside the Western Hemisphere, and a 90 percent cut in duty-free gifts. Rep. Byrnes questions Fowler. Mills signals ongoing action to curb dollar drain, while GAO and USAID note challenges in identifying ineligible port charges. Gruening’s subcommittee plans hearings with State, Agriculture, Maritime Administration, and Aid officials to explain the drain. The free food program for famine relief adds shipping costs, with foreign governments to bear port costs, according to staff director Joseph Lippman.
