House Committee Approves Tax Cut Plan For Individuals
The House Ways and Means Committee backed an income tax rate cut averaging about 15 percent for most taxpayers. The Treasury's rates range from 14 to 70 percent and are to be included in a bill to act on by September. Corporate rates were not decided. The administration favored two thirds of the cut taking effect January 1, 1964 with the rest a year later. A Republican motion linking the second cut to debt limits was defeated 13-12. Rep. John Byrnes questioned Kennedy’s budget-balancing push.
