Perot Denies Involvement In $15 Million Tax Refund Bid
Washington reports H. Ross Perot denies any role in an amendment approved by the House Ways and Means Committee that could yield him a $15 million tax refund. He says he offered to be excluded from benefits, calling it sound legislation, after a Wall Street Journal piece linked him to the measure. The amendment would allow a three year carryback of $30,000 or more in capital losses, retroactive to 1974, and was backed by Rep. Landrum. Perot notes he contributed to several committee members but claims no one acted on his behalf.
