Senate and House tax plans clash over incentives and energy aims
Conferees rebated to consumers and business. The bill's sole new tax would raise about 5 billion dollars. Senator Russell Long said the Senate favors tax incentives with new taxes, while House plans mirror energy savings of roughly two million barrels of imported oil daily by 1985. The House kept some taxes and rejected a 50 cent gasoline tax. The Senate trimmed the industrial tax to future plants and convertable existing facilities, while other taxes were dropped.
