Texans on Capitol Hill Narrow Tax Reform Debate Ends
Two Texans on the House Ways and Means Committee Omar Burleson of Anson and George Bush of Houston endured hundreds of hours of meetings to shape the tax reform bill. They protested the 27 percent oil depletion allowance cut to 20 percent, critiquing Rep. Hale Boggs for the move. The bill proceeds as a single package with no amendments, and drilling cost benefits remain a victory for independents. Wedding bells occur in Washington as Miss Morgan Worley marries Aug 2, daughter of Chief Judge Eugene Worley.
