House weighs extension of Nixon surtax plan
The House Ways and Means Committee approved a one year extension of the income tax surcharge amid opposition over tax reform. Treasury Secretary Kennedy refused partial extensions and warned the measure is essential for the economy. House liberals demand reforms to close loopholes before any renewal. Nixon says the surtax would dampen inflation by taking about $10 billion from workers and corporations.
