Stans Hopes to Cut Surtax and End It by 1970
Secretary of Commerce Maurice H. Stans said he hopes the 10 percent income tax surcharge can be cut to 5 percent next July and eliminated by 1970, though he cautioned uncertainty. He noted Nixon asked him to join the new economic policy group, signaling a stronger business voice in government. Stans said the group would review tax incentives for programs, including industry job training, while predicting no immediate major economic slowdown.
