House is finally coming to grips
with issues kept alive for years
without a vote: whether tax credits
for tuition costs should be allowed
and what schooling costs should
be eligible.
The long-postponed debate is
scheduled to begin Wednesday

Memorial Day break.
The Senate is continuing its re
cess all week.
The House debate will come on
a bill that would allow direct sub

school tuition and on an amend
ment for credits of up to $100 for
tuition in lower schools.
No votes are expected before

Pres. Carter and a number of
educational, minority and civil
rights groups oppose the legisla
tion, but the House Republican
Policy Committee and some edu
cational groups support it, includ
ing those who speak for church
affiliated schools.
The bill would allow a taxpayer
an income tax credit equal to 25
percent of the cost of college or
other post-secondary tuition, up to
a total of $100 this year, $150 in
1979 and $250 in 1980 per stu
dent.
The House Rules Committee
recommended that votes be al
lowed on three amendments.
One would provide credits in
addition for tuition to private
elementary and secondary
schools, with maximums of $50 in
1978, $100 each year in 1979 and
1980.
Another amendment would
raise the basis of the deduction to
50 percent of tuition but maintain
the same ceilings. The third would
be a substitute for the whole bill.
