Senator pushes spending cuts for tax relief extension
Senator John J. Williams urges an ironclad Nixon commitment to federal spending reductions to win a one year extension of a 10 percent income surtax. He proposes a 7 percent surtax, removal of the investment tax credit, and a $5.5 billion cut in the Johnson budget. Williams says the plan would raise more revenue than a straight 10 percent surtax and ease taxpayer burden.
