Nixon surtax bill edges toward a closed rule vote
The surtax bill moves under a closed rule with a straight yes or no vote and no amendments. Support hinges on solid Republican backing and a Democratic majority. Rep. Byrnes predicts the bill will pass with 80 to 90 Democratic votes, while Rep. Vanik opposes it to push broader tax reform. The measure would keep the tax at 10 percent for six months and 5 percent for six months, expiring June 30 unless extended. General tax reform is expected to follow in late July.
