Nixon Gains In Push For One Year Surtax Extension
President Nixon won a sizable advance for a full year's extension of the income surtax as the House Ways and Means Committee approved a broad anti inflation package. The measure keeps the surtax at 10 percent through December 30 with a six month 5 percent rate, includes tax relief for low income taxpayers, repeals the investment tax credit and delays excise tax cuts. The plan moves to a Democratic controlled House amid opposition to a longer extension and possible Senate amendments.
