President Carter proposed income tax measures that reduce federal taxes for almost all earners below 100000 a year while higher earners would pay more. The Treasury estimates show a 47 percent cut for low income families with three dependents earning 10000 to 15000 and smaller savings for those earning 50000 to 100000.

Floodwaters Move Through Virginia Central and northern rivers rise
Heavy rains moved through Virginia causing floods across the James Dan and Roanoke rivers and many streams. The James River crest near Richmond reached about 19 feet with higher levels expected later while a large ice floe on the Potomac north of Harpers Ferry moved toward Washington.
