Senators Clash Over Tax Reform Proposals
Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield defended the tax reform bill amid a veto threat from President Nixon while Republican Leader Hugh Scott called the measure a mess and said it must be drastically revised in a Senate House conference. Nixon warned he would not sign a bill with an $800 personal exemption and a 15 percent Social Security boost, arguing it would cost too much. The Senate pushed toward passage after defeating moves to end union tax exemption. Gore defended the $800 exemption, noting its inadequacy for taxpayers.
