Ford to Sign Compromise Tax Bill Averting Increases
President Ford says he will sign the compromise tax bill to extend 1975 income tax cuts through mid 1976, preventing a possible $6 weekly rise for the average worker. The measure totals $18 billion in yearly tax cuts and reduces taxes for a $17,500 income to $2,965 for singles and $1,978 for married couples with two children, versus higher levels without the bill.
