Ford backs cuts to avoid tax hike in Johnson budget
House GOP Leader Gerald Ford argues Congress can trim the president's budget enough to prevent a tax increase but cannot detail cuts until the budget is available. He notes balancing the economy matters more than balancing the budget and critiques a 6 percent surcharge. Dirksen plans to outline GOP priorities and may endorse Johnson on Vietnam with caveats. He says Johnson could have avoided a tax rise if the budget ceiling had been $130 billion or less.
