Surtax Extension Debate Faces Congress Action
The measure would keep the 10 percent surtax at a reduced 5 percent from June 30 to Dec 31 and expire June 28, 1976, unless Congress acts. Payroll withholding would drop to pre-surtax levels without an emergency extension. Aimed at liberal support, a provision would remove about 5.2 million low income earners from the tax rolls and cut rates for those near the floor, but liberals rejected it for broader reforms as Rep Hale Boggs warned of economic decline if inflation continues.
