Rosten cows a says House s fax b/7/ negotiable proposes Compromise Boston up in what amounted to the first offer for a Compromise tax re form Bill rep. Dan to Stenkovski said Fri Day the House would accept lower individual tax rates if the Senate would hike business taxes to help the Middle class. Every item in the House Bill is negotiable added Rostenkowski Dill the head of the ways and Means committee who will head House forces in the tax Reform conference expected to begin next month. The question now is not whether we will reach an agreement but what it will look like he noted. Both the House and Senate Bills would limit numerous tax deductions in Exchange for lower rates. The House has a four bracket Structure of 15 percent 25 percent 35 percent and 38 percent and would raise taxes on business by about 1140 billion in five years to help pay for the lower individual rates. To reduce rates to lower Levels the sen ate would Cut More individual deductions. On the corporate Side in would raise axes by about 1100 billion in five years.

A logical Compromise would have the House move toward the Senate rates and the Senate move toward the House after tax distribution and take the Best of their individual reforms and our corporate reforms in payment Rostenkowski said in a speech to a sem Inar sponsored by the Bank of Boston. Rostenkowski said thai even though the Senate Bill had lower Rales the House Mea sure would provide Middle income people with More after tax income.

The items he said were a certain Field of conflict and com  however he agreed the Senate Bill was tougher than the House measure on individual tax shelters often abused by the wealthy and he indicated the House maybe ready to accept those provisions. Given a hard look i Hope the Senate conferees will find our corporate reforms As worthy As the House conferees find some of the Senate s individual re forms he said. In the end the real fight won t be be tween the House and the Senate but be tween corporate lobbyists and the Middle income taxpayer Rostenkowski added to the extent we give to special corporate interests we must take from Middle income earners or raise marginal  medicare to begin picking up Cost of some heart transplant operations Washington a the govern mint accepting heart transplants As nor Mal rather than experimental treatment will Toon begin paying for a limited num Ber of such operations the lop Federal Beall official said Friday.
