Senate Opens Vote on Nixon Tax-Cut Bill to Spur Economy
Senate leaders schedule opening votes today on a $15.5 billion tax-cut package sought by President Nixon to stimulate growth and jobs. The measure preserves major business incentives like the 7 percent investment credit and accelerated depreciation, while raising personal exemptions and adding a $1300 standard deduction for low income families. Democratic liberals push to widen relief for individuals and may seek amendments on credits for small political contributions and college expenses.
