Senate May Push Through Higher Tax Exemptions
In the Senate debate over tax relief progress, proposals to raise the personal income tax exemption from 600 to 800 dollars face opposition from the White House. A Gore plan would lift to 700 next year and 800 in 1971, while Republican Senator Percy favors 650 next year with 50-dollar annual steps to 800 by 1973. Nixon warned he would veto the Gore plan citing too rapid relief, and urged passage of 9 billion dollars in tax relief from the Finance Committee.
