Energy tax plan considered by House committee
The House Ways and Means Committee debated President Carter’s energy tax proposal aimed at moving utilities and industrial oil and gas users toward coal. An 18-17 initial vote opposed sharply curbing the plan’s $90 billion target by 1985, with about half to industries and utilities. The panel tentatively backed a lower levy moving toward Carter’s figure, set to begin in 1979 for industries and 1983 for utilities, and considered exemptions for certain processes and small users.
