Reagan told he lacks votes to advance tax cut phase
Senate Leader Howard Baker and House GOP Leader Robert Michel informed President Reagan they do not have the votes to move up the final phase of the 25 percent income tax cut.

Baker suggested a jobs program financed by higher gasoline taxes might win votes.
