Ullman Urges Quick Tax Cut and Ford Seeks Compromise
UPI reports Rep. Al Ullman urged the Ways and Means Committee to pass a quick 15 to 18 billion dollar tax cut aimed mainly at low and moderate income Americans. President Ford signaled willingness to compromise with Congress on his economic energy program. Seven economists urged a 15 to 20 billion dollar cut, favoring reduced withholding rather than a single rebate. Ullman’s plan would include a 5 to 7 billion dollar rebate for low income taxpayers and an 8 to 10 billion dollar reduction in withholding, phased through 1975.
