Gore's tax cut plan wins Senate vote amid debate
The Senate approved a Gore proposal to raise the personal exemption from 600 to 700 next year and to 800 in 1971, amid opposition from the Nixon administration. The plan would cost about 3.3 billion next year and roughly 6.6 billion in 1971, with relief for 12 million poor taxpayers. Senator Percy and Senator Miller proposals were defeated. Nixon warned he would veto a bill he sees as fiscally unsafe and inequitable.
