Tax Revision Bill Faces Battle in Senate Fight
The Senate Finance Committee approved a revised tax revision bill but Chairman Harry F. Byrd plans to block its key investment credit provision. He argues the measure would drain the Treasury by about 750 million dollars annually, while contrasting House surplus projections of 120 million dollars. Byrd also knocked out a proposed tax withholding plan on dividends and interest. The outcome hinges on floor battles and possible changes to personal income tax rates.
