Sales levy meets wide opposition in Congress

House leaders, including Fordney and Mondell, oppose the measure and favor a substantial revision aligned with White House talks. Calder proposes amendments to aid home building, including exemptions for dwelling sales and a $2000 loan interest exemption.
