Nixon Proposes Broad Tax Reform Package
President Nixon asks Congress for an eight fold tax reform plan including a half—point cut in the 10 percent surcharge within a year and removal of about 2.2 million low income families from all income tax. Repeal of the 7 percent investment tax credit is included, with a shift to a new credit later to spur investment and job training. The plan would raise overall revenues by about three billion and cut taxes by about that amount through surtax cuts and loophole closing. Nixon also seeks a detailed review of the federal tax system and several stricter rules on tax shelters, charitable deductions, and mineral transactions to curb abuses.

The Supreme Court rules against residency requirements for welfare assistance, 6 to 3, ending the barrier for many migrants. It expands eligibility for Aid to Families With Dependent Children, potentially 100,000 to 200,000 people, increasing annual welfare costs by 125 to 175 million dollars. The decision covers Connecticut, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia and affects about 40 states. Justice Brennan leads the majority. Warren Black and Harlan dissent in parts.
