Officials See Ford Likely To Sign 21-Billion Demo Bill
White House economic officials consider the 21.3 billion tax cut approved by the Ways and Means Committee acceptable and expect President Ford to sign it despite reservations. Officials say talks with Congress move toward common ground on energy policy, with differing views to be resolved. The bill cuts individual taxes by 16.2 billion this year, mainly for those under 20,000 income, and reduces business taxes in following years. Ford’s plan differs, favoring higher rebates and larger relief, but private concede the House bill meets the aim of boosting demand while public stance remains that Ford prefers his plan.
