Dillon Submits 11 Billion Tax Cut Plan
Secretary of the Treasury Douglas Dillon presented to the House Ways and Means Committee an $11 billion tax cut in two steps starting Jan 1. Individual rates would range from 14 percent on the first $500 of income to a 70 percent top, with corporate taxes cut from 52 to 48 percent. The plan, delivered at a closed committee meeting, aims for two thirds of the individual cut to take effect Jan 1 and the rest a year later, offering a sizable immediate reduction and a smaller long term impact.
