Rockefeller seeks pay as you go plan with 60 million cushion

The cushion could allow Rockefeller to fund gaps on a pay as you go basis in 1960, with added revenue from a new withholding system estimated at 215 million annually. Budget director Hurd notes 150 million more this year from income taxes, and a 32 million dollar revenue loss expected in 1959 due to misunderstandings with new tax rules.
