But it tacked on more exemptions from the suspensions on top of those voted by the House.

The bill, passed 38 to 19, was urged by President Johnson as part of his anti-inflationary program, but some senators called it ill-timed and ill-conceived and said it could trigger a recession. In addition to shooting more holes in the suspension plan, the Senate added amendments calling for a 200,000 reduction in federal employes and sanctioning a merger of the National and American Pro Football Leagues. A Senate-House Conference now will have to go to work on whipping the legislation into shape for final congressional action. The suspension of the tax incentives, in an effort to dampen down the boom in business outlays, would be effective under the Senate bill retroactively to Oct. 10.

The date in the House bill was Sept. 9. The suspension would continue until Dec. 31, 1967, under both the Senate and the House versions of the legislation. The bill applies to the 7 per cent investment credit, under which a company can subtract from its taxes up to 7 per cent of its spending on new machinery and equipment, and two especially favorable depreciation methods available on construction of industrial commercial and apartment buildings.

The strong possibility of a Taft-Hartley Act injunction by President Johnson to delay any strike for 80 days because of defense production appeared to have played a major role in the settlement.
