Seek Coalition to Alter Tax Measure in House
Negotiations for a bipartisan coalition to revise the administration tax bill opened as Democrats hold a large majority. The aim is to strike out the 20 percent undistributed profits tax on family owned and closely held corporations. Rep. McCormack urged a motion to commit the bill. Republican Ways and Means members planned a Monday conference to decide on the coalition. Treachway pressed to test strength on repeal of the undistributed profits tax rather than the family owned provision.
