Washington March 13 Secretary of the Treasury John W. Snyder reaffirmed opposition to tax cuts for now arguing any surplus should shrink the national debt. He testified at Ways and Means hearings resisting a flat 20 percent cut for incomes up to 20000 saying it benefits high earners and would leave other taxes higher.
