WASHINGTON, D.C.: In a pre-Helsinki summit meeting with President Clinton, Yevgeny Primakov continued his push to wring the maximum possible concessions out of the U.S. before NATO begins its eastward expansion.

In a story on Social Security, an ABC correspondent claimed that White House figures show that net tax rates for future generations will climb to more than 70 percent of income, unless something changes. Whatever they were talking about has nothing to do with Social Security (the maximum tax rate for Social Security over the next 75 years is the current 12.4 percent plus the 2.17 percent which is 14.5 percent).
