Tax cut bill faces Senate approval and veto odds
The Senate may approve the House tax cut version by unanimous consent but Democratic Leader Rayburn warned against it. Knutson backs Senate revisions reducing the tax cut from 6.5 billion to 4.8006 billion, aiming to speed the measure to President Truman who vetoed similar efforts twice last year. The Senate vote stood 76 to 11, far above the two thirds needed to override a veto if unchanged. The House passed the original bill 297 to 120, with 30 Democrats and 8 Republicans voting for the Senate bill, while 11 opposing votes were all Democrats.
