- Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell is about to abandon
- his cooperative relationship with House Speaker Tom Foley over
- the issue of a cut in the Social Security payroll tax. Last
- year both leaders blocked the measure because they feared the
- tax-revenue loss might aggravate the budget deficit. Now
- Mitchell has changed his mind because he feels Democrats must
- do something to attract middle-class voters. With his support,
- a bill mandating a hefty $60 billion cut in the tax should pass
- easily this session in both houses.
