--(UPI) The $11.6 billion tax cut bill moved into the last stages of Senate action today with final passage virtually assured by late afternoon. A number of amendments remained to be voted on, but administration forces were confident they would be disposed of in the final push without significant changes being made in the priority measure. Ftrst Vote Slated Under a unanimous consent agreement, the first vote of the day was scheduled on a proposal by Sen. Albert Gore, to deny what Gore called "preferential" tax treatment now ac corded corporate executives under restricted stock option plans. Gore wanted to include at ordinary income tax rates any gains in the value of stock enjoyed by a company official at the time he exercised his option to buy shares.

Such "paper profits" now are not taxable. In a speech last night, Gore charged that executive stock option plans presently create "privileged group" among "corporate insiders." The agreement limiting debate and assuring a final vote also al- loted 110 minutes to an "economy" amendment by Sen. John L. McClellan, 30 minutes on other amendments, and one hour of closing debate on the bill. $11.6 Billion Slash As it stands, the bill--biggest tax cut in history--would slash federal income taxes a net $11.6 billion over two years for almost every American citizen ami corporation.
