Arab debate over Palestine inquiry at United Nations session
Arab spokesman said the Arab Worlds would stand by their decision to engage United Nations debates on Palestine, opposing Big Five representation in any inquiry commission. U S officials argued for a neutral inquiry and cautioned that a Big Five–led body could hinder impartial recommendations.

Major Changes In Tax Relief Bill Unlikely
Washington report says senior Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee expect few changes to the House tax relief bill cutting individual income taxes by about 4.0 billion a year. Chairman Millikin and colleagues weigh retroactive start dates, with debate over timing from January 1 to July 1. The House plan offers 23 percent relief for low incomes, 20 percent for many in the middle, and 10.5 percent for top brackets, while proposals to widen the 20 percent cut and allow joint returns in more states circulate amid broader calls for a major tax overhaul.
