Government Aims at Balance in Vietnam War Costs
Treasury official Joseph Barr told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the nation cannot fund both the Vietnam war and domestic programs. He forecast a 1969 deficit near 20 billion dollars unless a 10 percent income tax surcharge is enacted, with possible reductions if the surtax passes. President Johnson pressed labor and AFL-CIO leaders to support wartime goals and domestic initiatives while upholding law and order. Meany urged stronger stance against Hanoi, while Smathers forecast the war extending about a year or more regardless of leadership.
