Johnson says tax plan faces little opposition in Congress
President Johnson told reporters at the White House that only a minimum opposition exists to restoring excise tax cuts on cars and phone bills.

The package also speeds corporate taxes and uses a graduated withholding plan to raise short term revenue.
