Democrats Delete Corporate Tax Cut in Tax Bill Fight
Democrats moved to drop the unpopular corporate tax cut from the six year tax bill and shift focus to a health insurance measure. Senator Lloyd Bentsen said he would attach a federal standard for insurers to the bill to win votes and make action harder for a Bush veto. The package totals 79.1 billion in cuts and 93.5 billion in increases, with passage expected next week. Speaker Foley expressed confidence the bill would pass.
