Surtax Bill Faces Final House Vote in Stopgap Move

If not extended, refunds would go to taxpayers at year end and withholding could restart later. The measure drew limited opposition, with House leadership delaying a vote to pursue broader tax reform and Nixon plan details. Funeral details for Judy Garland and burial plans at Ferncliff Cemetery appear in the same draft.
