Nixon Seeks Surtax Extension to Stabilize Economy
The Nixon administration urged Congress to extend the income surtax and related taxes arguing failure to act would fuel inflation and risk recession. Treasury Secretary Kennedy said a budget surplus of 6.3 billion dollars is planned for fiscal year starting July 1, higher than Johnson's 3.4 billion projection. The plan would keep the 10 percent surcharge through 1969 and 5 percent to mid-1970, aiming to net about 10 billion in revenue while seeking spending controls through a new mandatory limit.
