What Difference Does It Make Whether He Doe* It Congress Considers From Without Or From Within?" Tuition Tax Credits BY DR. O.C. CARMICHAEL JR., President Citizens National Committee for Higher Education, Inc. A plan designed to ease the financial burden of parents of college students and to create new sources for the establishment of scholar- ships is receiving increasing attention and support from both educa- tors and legislators. The concept of granting tax credits for some expenses of higher education has had bipartisan backing in both houses of Congress for more than a decade, but has never been enacted into law. Now there are signs that a tuition tax credit measure may pass in the current session of the 89th Congress. In 1964, a bill introduced by Senators Abraham A. Riblcoff, D., Conn„ and Peter H. Dominick. R. Colo., and co-sponsored by thirty- five senators of both parties failed passage by the narrow margin of 48 votes to 45. The bill has been reintroduced in the present Congress. During recent weeks added support for tax credit legislation has come from such groups as the Young Republication Federation and the youse Republican Conference. Educators, too, are demonstrating strong backing for the mea- sure. Interim results of a poll being conducted by the Citizens National Committee for Higher Education (CNCHE) of South Bend, Indiana, show that more than 89 percent of college presidents and trustees responding favor the principles embodied in tuition tax credit.
