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.
