Secretary Mellon urged Congress to approve a maximum 200 million dollar tax reduction based on already appropriated funds, with a 181.1 million dollar cut if food relief is funded. Proposals include lowering corporate and insurance taxes, revising high income rates, repealing the estate tax, and exempting bankers' acceptances held by foreign firms.

He noted 1928 surplus at 406 million and 1929 at 212 million, with rising expenditures and growing back tax disputes.
