Senate approves 2.6 billion debt retirement earmark
The Senate voted 82 to 0 to earmark 2.6 billion dollars from a prospective budget saving for reducing the national debt. Republican leaders said this keeps a door open for a 20 percent income tax cut. The pledge came in an amendment by Senator Knowland to a resolution for a 4.5 billion cut in President Truman's budget for the next fiscal year. Taft and Millikin helped mediate after Knowland and Taft disagreed on the earmark amount. Earlier, a Green proposal to apply all savings to debt reduction failed 49 to 33.
