Leo Pfeffer, special coun-
ser of the American Jewish
Congress and general coun-
sel of the National Coalition
for Public Education and
Religious Liberty (PEARL),
testified on behalf of those
organizations before a hear-
ing of the Senate Finance
Committee on the subject of
tuition tax relief.
Pfeffer testified that the
Packwood-Moynihan bill
was "irremediably uncon-
stitutional" as it relates to
tuition at elementary and
secondary schools. How-

church-related institutions

at religious services, he
said.
The bill—S. 2142—
provides an income tax
credit, to be subtracted

Pfeffer,
author
of
"Church, State and Free-

Anson Phelps Stokes of
"Church and State in the
United States," said he
based his conclusion on "the
relevant decisions of the
Supreme Court relating to
governmental aid to religi-
ous schools, including those
decisions holding that the
allowance of tax credits for
tuition in such schools con-
stitutes prohibited aid to
the schools."
