Demos Predict Passage Of Tax Relief Measure
Democratic members of Congress expect the House to approve a $100 increase in personal income tax exemptions next month. A married couple with two children on $5,000 yearly would save about $80 annually. House action aims to raise from $600 to $700 per person and dependent. Senator Walter F. George proposes a $200 rise this year and another $200 next year to reach $1,000. House concerns include revenue loss. George's plan would cost about $4.5 billion first year and $8 billion full impact. Rep. Hale Boggs also backs a $100 increase.
