Johnson calls for tax cut as stock market hits high
President Johnson urged Congress to pass a tax cut to sustain economic momentum while proposing a budget cut to 97.9 billion and reducing the deficit to 4.9 billion. Business leaders welcomed the plan, but some questioned the impact of a 1 billion war on poverty program. Retail leaders predicted strong 1964 sales despite profit concerns.
