House tax plan division widens as negotiators squabble
House and Senate negotiators clash over a tax overhaul plan that would shift about 140 billion dollars from corporations to individuals over five years. Senators Danforth Wallop and Chafee voice skepticism. Dole warns of potential job losses if the House proposal is adopted. The compromise includes limited IRA eligibility, higher medical expense deductions, and retained sales tax deductions while repealing the non-itemizer charitable deduction.

Steel wage freeze tests talks amid looming USX work action

Senate Votes to Repeal Windfall Profits Tax on Oil
The Senate voted to abolish the windfall profits tax on oil producers, enacted in 1980, as part of a debt-ceiling bill amendment. The repeal, urged by Reagan and oil-state lawmakers, would take effect Oct 1 1987 if House conferees accept the change. A separate bid for a $10-a-barrel import tax failed 82-15.
