Johnson urges Congress to pass tax hike amid spending fights
President Johnson pressed Congress to approve his tax increase as spending cuts prompt Republican demands. He warned the delay risks “courting danger” and urged lawmakers to vote, acknowledging reluctant acceptance of House Appropriations Committee reductions while Senate figures spark debate. The issue, tied to a conference committee vote, centers on a 10 percent surtax and deep cut proposals. The administration notes inflation concerns, with the Economic Advisers Council offering cautious guidance and no firm wage-price targets for 1968.
