VOLUNTARY WAR TAX PROPOSED

Rep. William Clay, D-Mo., is proposing that supporters of the Persian Gulf War be allowed to express their sentiments through a voluntary war tax.

He introduced a bill authorizing taxpayers to add up to 5 percent to their federal income tax liability, with the money earmarked to pay costs of the war. Any money left over would be used to reduce the record budget deficit.

The bill, he said Wednesday, "will allow taxpayers the opportunity to direct their support for this war in a constructive manner." - Associated Press
