The House approved an amendment urging Reagan to work with the OAS to resolve the Central America conflict, alleging Nicaragua violated pledges and the OAS charter by aiding guerrillas. In a separate action, Congress backed a tax withholding reform replacing a 10 percent rule with 20 percent for certain tax cheats, while a Senate filibuster stalled farm price support cuts amid farm program disclosures.
