Nixon Tax Credit Plan Faces House Setback
The House Ways and Means Committee rejected a two level investment tax credit plan and preferred a straight percentage rate as President Nixon seeks to curb inflation. The administration announced a new $200 million public service jobs allocation targeting areas with unemployment above six percent for three straight months. Labor Secretary Hodgson said 27,000 public service jobs already funded and over 6,000 workers were in place last week. The unemployment rate stood at 6.1 percent and a big drop was not expected.
