Nixon advisers deny tax reform sidelining
Washington (UPI) The administration is not delaying tax reform and works toward a bill to overhaul the federal tax code. Herbert Stein, chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, said the final form is uncertain and that reform should proceed rapidly without increasing taxes for most Americans. He noted a public desire to avoid tax hikes while cuts in spending aim to hold the budget ceiling. Walter Heller criticized tactics, saying some pledges require higher taxes for reconstruction aid, elderly relief, and welfare reform. He described the dollar troubles as a constructive crisis and urged international reform.
