ished their work said Ford did
not indicate whether he would
veto the bill.
HOWEVER, several of the Re-
publicans said they would vote
against the bill and at least two
of them - Sens. Paul Fannin
of Arizona and John Tower of
Texas - said they would sup-
port a presidential veto.
White House Press Secretary
Ron Nessen said Ford expressed
dismay during the meeting with
GOP leaders over "astronomi-
cal spending proposals moving
through Congress." He said
Ford "has to weigh the tax cut
bill against these oncoming
spending proposals."
Nessen said Ford would not
decide whether to veto the bill
"for at least several days."
DEMOCRATIC lead-
ers scoffed at the idea of a
veto.
Other major provisions of the
bill include:
-Repeal of the oil depletion
allowance for major oil com-
panies. The allowance would be
retained under certain condi-
tions for the 10,000 independent
producers who drill 90 per cent'
of the nation's oil and gas wells.
-An increase in standard de-
ductions, the amount subtracted
from gross income by per: ons
who do not itemize their eeduc-
tions. The minimum standard
deduction would be increased to
$1,600 for single persons and
$1,900 for married couples fil-
ing joint returns. It currently.
is $1,300 for both. The maximumi
standard deduction would be in-
creased to 16 per cent of gross
income, up to a maximum of
$2.300 for single persons and $2,-:
600 for couples. The current de-
duction is 15 per cent f gross
income, with a maximum of;,
$2,000. '

To collect information for the
study the Harbridge firm con-
ducted interviews with landl:>rds
and tenants to identify the ma-!
jor arguments and allegarions
for and against rent control. The1
company also gathered g.vern-
ment, and private files on tents
and rent control itself.
IT WAS THEN determined by
the firm whether or not the
available evidence supp )rted
conclusively one side's asser-
tions and the company then
made its report to the Massa-

The eastern state's House and
Senate are presently conducting
hearings on the Rent and Evic-
tion Control Law, Chapter 842
in the 1970 Acts, which is up for
reratification.

An Open Letter to All V of Students:
In 1972, 16,000 U. of M. students petitioned for the crea-
tion of PIRGIM, the Public Interest Research Group in Michigan,
so that a staff of professionals could work full-time under the
direction of students on issues of public concern-consumer pro-
tection, environmental quality, and governmental responsibility
to name just a few. To support this staff and the organization's
activities, PIRGIM has been part of the registration process since
its inception in 1972.
PIRGIM won't be at registration this spring, but it's still
around. The longer, decentralized registration process under the
new CRISP system precluded a PIRGIM station for contact with
students. Since student contact seemed essential, PIRGIM asked
for a system that would allow it. On March 21, the Regents ap-
proved a PIRGIM collection method along lines originally re-
quested by the majority of UM students in the 1972 petitioning.
Here's how it works:
The PIRGIM fee, $1.50, will be shown on all students' first
billings next September. If you want to support PIRGIM, you pay
the fee. If you don't want to, don't pay it: just get the assessment
reversed on your account at the tSudent Accounts Office. A week
will be set aside in the fall, probably in late September, for such
credit requests, and heavily publicized..The administration will
be handling the credits, but PIRGIM people will be there to talk
with students who have questions about PI RGIM's work and
plans. Feel free to stop by the PIRGIM office, weekday after-
noons 1 p.m-5 p.m., if you have any questions or comments.
