Dillon Seeks Senate Support for Kennedy Tax Cut
Secretary of the Treasury Douglas Dillon began selling Kennedy’s 14 billion tax cut to Capitol Hill, pressing urgency and arguing delay risks economic harm. Sen. Harry Byrd, watchdog of the Treasury, opposes cuts without spending restraint and advocates waiting until 1964. President Kennedy argues the measure boosts family purchasing and corporate investment, raising taxes later.
