A 10 percent tax credit, pitched as a job development incentive, faces likely opposition as Democrats demand more consumer support and less business relief. The credit would drop to 3 percent next year, but that concession may not ease calls for broader economic aid.

Nixon economic program sparks mixed reaction in Congress

Lawmakers offered divided views on Nixon’s new economic plan. Rep Wilbur Mills praised it and urged swift committee action on reinstituting the investment tax credit while Sen George McGovern denounced the move as economic madness. Connally defended the 90 day wage price freeze, noting progress on unemployment and inflation but warning about the balance of payments deficit. He said sanctions back the policy and doubted gouging by businesses. The administration signaled flexibility on specifics while stressing steps to cut federal spending and avoid mass layoffs.
