MIR. Dingell noted the Budget
Bureau has forecast a $1.8 bill
lion surplus in the fiscal year
which begins July /. Adding the
I$1.8 billion cut mentioned by Mr..
Eisenhower, he said, would
mean an estimated surplus of

The $700 exemption bill, he
said. would cost the Government
I$2.8 billion and take 3.6 million
people off the income tax rolls.
He said his $500 exemption
bill would cut Treasury revenues
by about SIS billion and relieve
~ million low income bracket
taxpayers from having to pay
income taxes.
But if the House continues its
present rate of cutting the
budget. Mr.. Dingell said, there
would still be an ample Treasury
surplus even under his $500 bill.
He said House cuts would total
