q tax-cutting measure involv-
ing Just excise tax cuts. relief

But as a powerful congress

In short. II the administra-

cuts. 1t will have to go along
with a general individual in

can't escape a tax-cutting de-
cision in the next AZ days.
The decision this year will be
much tougher to reach than in
