Swift timetable for tax reforms eyed by Mills in House action
Rep. Wilbur Mills proposed a fast track schedule for comprehensive tax reform after six months of work by the Ways and Means Committee. The plan aims for a House debate next week and a floor vote Thursday, with potential quick transfer to the Senate and inclusion in President Nixon's surtax extension bill before the August recess. The Rules Committee also allowed a stopgap extension of payroll withholding for the surtax to August 15.
