TAX LARGE GIFTS TO POLITICAL PARTIES

IF I understand right, $30 million was spent on President Clinton's inaugural festivities.

Now, if I can believe the news, he wants to adjust Social Security benefits to help cut the deficit.

May I suggest Clinton tax the $30 million and also all large gifts to political groups. JOSEPH L. STULL ROANOKE
