Debt Limit Up With Tax Slash Ruled Out
The House Ways and Means Committee unanimously approved a bill fixing the legal debt limit at 278 billion dollars for the fiscal year starting July 1. Treasury Secretary Humphrey endorsed the figure and warned of a tight fit under the ceiling while opposing any tax relief at this time. He said budget estimates leave no leeway for tax cuts and a tax reduction now could reduce revenue enough to require an earlier debt ceiling increase.
