Reagan rejects Democrats tax-cut plan
Reagan insists on a three year tax cut with a 30 percent target, dismissing a two year 15 percent Democratic alternative. Treasury secretary Regan says the administration has the votes and aims for a nationwide appeal to drum up public support. Congressional involvement centers on the Ways and Means Committee drafting a plan with Rostenkowski for a broader tax cut while Reagan pursues consensus with conservative Democrats and Kemp.
