Senate Votes To Bar Access To Tax Returns By Execs
In response to Watergate disclosures the Senate voted by voice to bar executive branch employees from accessing federal income tax returns. Return access would be limited to the president in writing, to Treasury or Justice department officials, and to department employees handling filings or audits. The measure, offered by Sen. Lowell P. Weicker, was attached to a broader bill curbing White House personnel growth. The package also tightens spending on high level staff and caps the president’s emergency fund, while boosting top pay limits for White House aides.
