Passage Fails by Margin of Five Votes
The Senate upheld President Truman's veto on a 57 to 36 vote to override a tax cut bill, but fell five votes short of the constitutional two thirds. The House had previously voted 299 to 108 to overturn the veto. The tax bill would have cut taxes by 4 billion dollars for 49 million taxpayers, but failed to pass by the required margin. The vote affects the 1948 presidential campaign dynamic as Republicans push the issue amid international tensions involving Russia and Europe.

The report stresses domestic gains of 1947 must not be jeopardized and cites record employment, rising purchasing power and increased production as achieved goals.
