Tax Bill near final barrier on bonus payments
Washington May 25 The tax reduction bill faces its final congressional barrier tomorrow as the House takes up the conference report. Republicans back the measure with limited publicity on tax payers and estate tax increases. Senate approval came yesterday. Chair Smoot says latest Treasury figures show the bill would permit bonus payments and other government expenses next fiscal year with a projected $2 million surplus, though pending items could alter the estimate. The House debate is expected to be brief and approval would send the bill to the President by Tuesday for his signature within ten days.
