Leaded gasoline tax debate and budget tensions
A federal lead additive tax proposal aims to cut lead in gasoline while sparking concern over tax shifts to consumers. Officials warn lead particles could damage pollution control systems by 1975 as budget deficits grow due to lower revenue and higher outlays. House leader Carl Albert blames White House policies for deficits, with President Nixon signaling inflation easing and previewing possible 1972 tax needs while pledging city aid and desegregation funds.
