Dukakis reports near unanimity on the economic sections while Carter's influence is acknowledged, with Udall and Jackson reps more active. The draft aims to reduce adult unemployment and expand meaningful employment.

Senate panel approves tax cut with higher education credit
The Senate Finance Committee backed a broad tax cut package adding a $250 annual higher education tax credit phased in from 100 to 250 by 1980. It also shields low income families from 1977 tax increases, boosts the estate tax exemption, and keeps withholding through mid 1977 while debating broader revenue effects. Estate taxes would rise exemption to 96 or 97 percent with estates up to 400000 possibly escaping tax.
