Byrd Attacks Tax Cut Plan as Irresponsible
Senator Byrd denounced Kennedy and Eisenhower tax cut proposals as fiscally reckless and dangerous to the nation. He argued federal spending must be trimmed and warned a tax cut without offsetting savings would deepen deficits while undermining domestic progress and U.S. global standing. He opened with a prayer and criticized the Supreme Court prayer ruling as harmful to youth and elders alike. Charles B. Shuman of the American Farm Bureau Federation echoed the call for cuts only with corresponding spending reductions.
