Ullman Predicts Federal Tax Cut As of January 1 Despite delays in the Senate, it is now "more certain than ever" that the federal tax cut will become effective on January 1, of next year, Congressman Al Ullman said at a luncheon meeting of the Prinevllle Cham ber of Commerce last Thursday. "This does not necessarily mean that the bill will be passed prior to the first of January, but that if passage comes after the first of the year, it will be retroactive to January 1." Ull man said. Ullman defended the bill worked out by the House Ways and Means Committee, of which he is a member and said that his only concern now was that the Senate might "water down' some of the reforms placed in the bill by the House. He specif ically referred to the penalty on multiple corporations and the termination of the dividend which he termed "basic reforms" and "most essential to a sound tax passage." Ullman added that the tax cut emphasizes growth in the private sector of the economy. He told the group that "barring the unforseen' he anticipates several years of economic pros perity as a result of the cut. "Oregon and this community should be making plans to take advantage of this growth. Lets get our share of private growth in Oregon" he said.
