"a choice of two evils."
No Justification
"Thus far I have seen no Justifi
cation for restoration of an excess

be a reasonable tax cut. but not as
much as in the Kimtsnn bill."
Treasury experts say the OOP pro
posal actually would reduce federal
revenue by $6 300.000.000.
Doughton, who managed tax leg
islation when his party continued
rongrrss. said that in his opinion
"there are too many federal em
ployes." He added:
"We are spending too much and
taxing too high."
Doughton said he is not yet ready
to say whether he will vote for the

on whether republicans can attract
enough democratic support to over

That there Is virtually certain to
be a veto of the OOP measure was
made clear yesterday by Secretary
of the Treasury Snyder, as the elec

Even without such a code, he
added, rainmakers are exposing
themselves to legal trouble, since
