Carter and aides said the plan would total 20 to 22 billion dollars, two thirds to individuals and one third to businesses, while major tax reform may wait until 1979. Carter aims to offset expected increases from Social Security and energy taxes. Byrd and O'Neill warned reform plans face little chance in 1978, urging quick action on the cuts.
