Califano veto threatens college tuition tax credits in bill clash
The White House faces a veto threat over a $1 billion tuition tax credit, with Califano urging President Carter to veto as compromise tax cut plans seek to attach credits to the main bill. Backers push credits up to 35 percent of tuition, max $250 in 1980, while Carter favors expanded grants and loans. A Senate bill supports Carter’s approach, but House leaders delay until a resolution on the credit versus loan plan.
