Agnew Attacks Senate Tax Reform as Inflation Threat
Vice President Spiro T. Agnew told the Republican Governors Association that Senate tinkering with the tax reform bill endangers inflation efforts. He criticized the bill as a Rube Goldberg toy and praised Nixon programs at home and abroad. He noted consumer prices rising 4% annually in early 1969 and 3% since June. The critical threat, he said, comes from political weakness, not labor or management.
