I To compensate for this revenue loss, the new plan would provide reductions averaging only 20 per cent in individual tax rates, com pared with 23.3 per cent in the original plan. The initial response of influ ential committee Democrats was so favorable that it seemed pos sible the committee might ap prove the new plan with only rel ative minor tailoring, if it de cided to vote for tax cuts of $10 billion or I more. But that was a big "if." The magnitude of the tax re duction was the big issue still undecided as the committee sum moned Dillon for a second day of questioning behind closed doors. The committee was not expected to begin voting on the proposed rate cuts before Thurs day.

So far as individuals are concerend, the re vised plan called for adoption of only two major structural changes which have not already won committee approval. All of the committee - voted changes were accepted by the administra tion. One of the two additional re visions it . recommended would provide a 'new "minimum stan dard deduction" under which many families with low incomes would be able to claim deduc tions in excess of the present 10 per cent standard. This would provide tax savings of $310 mil- linn trxf ciifh t:ivnnvpr Thp lion for such taxpayers.
