Fate Of Tax Hike Bill Narrowly Clears Conferees
House and Senate conferees completed a tax increase package tied to federal spending cuts and sent it to Congress amid opposition from liberals who say the $6 billion in spending reductions hurts domestic programs. The plan would raise $15.6 billion with a 10 percent surtax, extend excise taxes, and speed corporate tax collection, with surtax through June 30, 1969 and excise extension to Jan 1, 1970. The panel also ordered a $10 billion spending cut for the next fiscal year, set a ceiling on employment, and allowed convention city advertising deductions while killing a Senate textile import quotas plan.
