Connally opposes further cuts to oil depletion allowance
Treasury nominee John B. Connally opposes more reductions in the oil depletion allowance and resists publishing annual figures on the cost to the government. In response to Senator Proxmire’s questions, Connally urged study before committing, noting Congress already acted in 1969 to cut the allowance from 27.5 to 22 percent. The tax break, dating to 1926, lets oil and gas firms deduct costs and reduce taxable income.
