Accord Seen on Surtax Extension By Eileen Shanahan
Washington lawmakers edge toward a surtax extension with targeted tax relief for low income families. Committee leaders forecast formal approval soon as Nixon backs the plan amid White House talks. The plan would extend the 1 percent tax July through December and 5 percent through June 1970, add auto and phone tax extensions, and restore a 7 percent business investment credit. The relief would remove about 2 million families from the tax rolls and cut taxes for 11 million near poor people.
