Special Tax Benefit Highlighted by Ways and Means Panel
Washington AP The House Ways and Means Committee directs staff specialists to assess retroactivity and beneficiary impact of any special tax legislation after embarrassment over a Perot amendment. The measure would have granted about 165 million dollars in retroactive refunds to high income investors including 15 million to H Ross Perot. The Wall Street Journal linked Perot as a major beneficiary, noting possible record tax breaks for one person. Perot denied requesting the amendment, while Fortney Stark called the disclosure embarrassing. The full House rejected the amendment 379 to 27.
