Ford Threatens Veto Of Tax Bill
President Ford repeated threats to veto the House-passed tax bill carrying 13 billion dollars in personal tax cuts for 1976 unless a spending ceiling is tied to them. Senate timing suggests moving fast on the tax cuts while possibly delaying broader tax revisions. The House also deleted a planned 165 million dollar refund provision for high income investors, including 15 million for H. Ross Perot.
