Uphill battle for anti-spend tax cut in House vote
Washington Republicans faced a tough fight to attach anti-spending strings to an $11 million tax cut backed by President Kennedy. The House Ways and Means Committee approved the bill 17-8, with most GOP members voting against it. A floor vote and potential Senate action faced long odds. The bill targets $7 billion in 1964 tax savings and $11 billion starting in 1965, while a GOP amendment linking spending cuts was rejected by the committee. The Chamber of Commerce indicated it would withhold support for amendments until the measure advances to the Senate.
