He argued the Maryland and Pennsylvania records are too deficient to decide Establishment Clause issues and favored sending them back for more evidence.

Three Week Delay To Vote On First Tax Cut Proposal
House Ways and Means Committee delayed a decision on tax rate cuts to allow more time for revenue offsets. Kennedy floated 14 to 65 percent with offsets yielding a net $10.2 billion cut while committee studies 15 to 70 or 75 percent ranges. A moderate tightening on oil and gas taxes could add about $50 million yearly, with full Kennedy oil and gas package up to $280 million. The panel also reexamines a possible repeal of the 4 percent dividend tax credit.
