Senators Clash Over Rushed Tax Bills After Adjourning Push
Washington lawmakers faced criticism from Sen. William Proxmire and Ralph Nader's group over rapid passage of special interest relief bills. The Nader study predicts more than 240 million dollars in first year losses, with finance chair Long withholding sponsor details. Proxmire demanded hearings while Nelson pressed for explanations of amendments and impacts. The package includes a 145 million dollar 1972 airline tax break and a deduction change for debts in takeovers, plus a 3 million annual loss from imported auto parts taxes.
