Senate tax form delay tied to lawmaker power and gifts bill
In Washington, a Senate dispute over a small gifts-for-troops bill delays printing of 1971 tax forms. Treasury Secretary Connally warns of unprecedented inconvenience if forms are late. Senator Stevenson seeks a $700 personal exemption for 1971, framing it as vital for consumer spending. The House had approved a $675 exemption as part of a broader tax-cut measure benefiting business, while Stevenson argues for a larger cut aimed at individuals. He asks to delay action on the attached provision to press for more relief for taxpayers.
