Carter tax cut in ballpark of congressional guidance
President Carter's 25 billion tax cut proposal earns cautious support from lawmakers. Senator Edmund Muskie calls it a reasonable start and a basis for policy, while Rep. Al Ullman notes it is generally manageable though some elements may be revised. The plan aims at faster relief for those earning 10 thousand dollars or less and would replace personal exemptions with a refundable credit, effective Oct. 1. Russell Long avoids comment as changes could come.
