Congress revises tax package
WASHINGTON (UPI)
House and Senate negotiators
completed a major tax
revision bill yesterday,
continuing $17.3 billion in
current tax cuts but making
hundreds of changes that will
result in a $1.6 billion tax
increase next year for some
industries and individuals.
One of the biggest tax
breaks in the bill was in
cluded at the last minute a
reduction in estate and gift
taxes which many farmers
and others said were forcing
heirs to sell family property
to pay the tax bills. '

The compromise measure,
the product of three years of
congressional effort, could go
to both the House and Senate
as early as Thursday or
Friday of next week.
Although the. tax changes
were not exactly the same,
the bill's revenue effect was
almost exactly the same as
the stronger House-passed
bill. The Senate version,
which was strongly criticized
by tax "reformers," would
have lost $300• million in its
first years and greater
amounts later.

revenue loss will remain
essentially the same

is expected to gain $984

Estate and gift tax changes
were expected to be handled
in a 'separate bill, but were
tacked onto this larger
measure when it became
apparent the other legislation
was in trouble.
The major estate tax
change is to greatly increase
the current $60,000 exemption
the amount of estate on
which no tax must be paid.
This would be changed to a
tax credit that would be the
equivalent of $120,666 in 1977

The estate and gift tax
changes, however, could be in
trouble because the full House
has not yet voted on the bill.
In the House, those tax
changes had been carried in
separate legislation.
Estate tax releif would be
phased in over a five-year
period, after which ,the
estimated 127,000 estates now
subject top tax would be
pared down to 50,000 an

estates.
Also among the final
decisions were major cuts in
