...bill that contains too great a revenue loss, but he has left undefined the question of how much is too much. The Administration is counting on Democrat Mills to restore some of the lost revenues when the bill comes up in a Senate-House conference. The hope may prove illusory. Tax cutting is as popular in the House as it is in the Senate, and Mills says only that "I'm not ruling out anything...

He also urged the Soviets to prove that they genuinely want to ease tensions by agreeing to discuss NATO's year-old suggestion for mutual troop reductions in Europe (see chart).
