Tax surtax on overspending eyed by Senate panel
The Senate Finance Committee approved an 8-2 plan to add a automatic surtax to income and corporate taxes when spending exceeds a set 2 percent over inflation, with exceptions for unemployment above 7 percent. The panel also backed a 4.2 billion cut in capital gains taxes and a new minimum tax aimed at high income earners.

The plan adds to regular funds and targets U S 51 from Rockford to Decatur and the Peoria to Quincy section of the Chicago to Kansas City expressway.

More, cheaper flights could serve Illinois cities under bill
The House passed the Air Service Improvement Act to reform Civil Aeronautics Board rules, aiming to curb airline market dominance and boost competition. If enacted, more Illinois cities outside Chicago would gain multiple carriers and potentially lower fares, as Ozark currently serves 10 of 11 air-linked cities alone.

CIA chief Helms pressed over Kennedy inquiry plots
House investigators pressed former CIA Director Richard Helms to explain why the agency withheld information from the Warren Commission probe into President Kennedy's murder. Helms, CIA director of clandestine services during the 1960s, testified as committee members questioned how FBI and CIA withheld material that might have broadened the investigation, even as the commission attributed Kennedy’s assassination to Lee Harvey Oswald acting alone. The panel also questioned Warren Commission chief counsel J. Lee Rankin and Deputy Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach, who said the commission would have been broader with full disclosures.
