The Senate ratified a tax treaty with Great Britain by an 82 to 5 vote after striking down language critics said would curb state power to tax foreign corporations. Earlier, a Church reservation proposal to bar such limits failed 44 to 34, delaying ratification. The pact, forged in the Ford era, seeks to prevent double taxation and tax evasion and includes a $375 million refund to U.S. investors 1973–1978 plus ongoing credits for oil venture taxes and a rule taxing entertainers where they perform.
