President Reagan will welcome House Speaker Tip O Neill Majority Leader Jim Wright and Dan Rostenkowski and Senate leaders Robert Byrd and Russell Long to the White House on Monday to seek a bipartisan tax cut deal. The invitation follows Democratic opposition to a three year across the board rate cut and signals possible revival of a Republican Democrat coalition. Larry Speakes said the administration prefers a Democratic partnership but will push an education program in Congress for a three year tax cut if needed.
