Estate Tax Reform Gains Ground in Washington Visit

The Independent Cattlemen's Association along with Senator Lloyd Bentsen and Congressmen Jake Pickle and Omar Burleson witnessed the passage of the Tax Reform Act. The bill repeals the $60,000 exemption, introduces a $30,000 credit with 1977 value of $120,667, and rising to a $175,625 exemption by 1981. It also allows agricultural land to be valued by productive output rather than market value. Cunningham praised the lawmakers for pushing the reform amid organized opposition.
