Ford Signs Major Tax Revision Bill
President Ford signed a sweeping tax revision bill in the Oval Office, preserving existing tax cuts through 1977 and adding changes from a higher minimum tax to expanded breaks for workers and the elderly. He praised Congress for raising the minimum tax and curbing shelters but urged further cuts next year, including raising the personal exemption and new accelerated depreciation for industry. The administration warned the bill may complicate Middle East peace efforts by denying some breaks to boycott participants. The measure extends anti recession tax credits for 18 months, preventing tax hikes for various income levels.
