Committee Takes Up Tax Cut Possibility
Washington AP The House Ways and Means Committee agreed to begin closed hearings on the economy with public hearings possible later if a tax cut is recommended by President Kennedy. The hearings will run about a week with invited witnesses from business labor farm groups government and academia. The move aims to avoid building pressure while the committee remains uncommitted. Kennedy plans a possible net income tax reduction in the future, with August seen as a moment to decide on a quick tax cut. Senate sentiment for a tax cut is growing, said Assistant Senate Democratic Leader Hubert Humphrey.
