During the conference, the President touched on foreign-aid cuts ("a serious mistake") and on congressional reluctance to enact his proposed 10% surcharge on individual and corporate income taxes. Singling out House Republican Leader Gerald Ford, Wisconsin Republican John Byrnes and Arkansas Democrat Wilbur Mills, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, he declared: "They will live to regret the day when they made that decision [to bottle up the tax bill], because it is a dangerous decision.
