hearings on the Sll billion lax

are scheduled to resume Mon
day. Once they are over, how
ever, the committee must vote
on 30 to 40 amendments in

Althnnoh there was no hone
of final Senate action this year,
the fart that, the finance com
mittee would start drafting the
bill before the Christmas recess
came as a complete surprise.
It meant that the bill could be
ready for a Senate vote early
next year.
Most members of the commit
tee conceded the bill will be ap
proved. The tax cut, which will
affect every American taxpay
pr and corooration. will be
made retroactive to Jan. . 1,

As the bill stands, two-thirds

stage measure would be felt in

third going into effect Jan. 1,

Action on the civil rights bill,
however, is another matter.

and that the majority of mem
