Title
The homeless: Editorial commentary
Date
1986
Summary
Homelessness is sometimes the condition of the deinstitutionalized mentally ill, the aged, the voluntarily idle and the temporarily unemployed; and of runaway youth, destitute families, drug addicts, street beggars and alcoholics - in urban and rural areas. There appears to be no single set of characteristics shared by the homeless except being poor without housing, and often lacking food and medical care as well. This Editorial Commentary looks at the "problems" of the homeless and those who search for remedies using selected editorials. It also covers actions taken by local and State governments to address the problems. The Editorial Commentary includes an introductory section of newspaper articles on the homeless. It is divided into sections - one focusing on the problem; the other on actions that have been taken to deal with the problem. Both sections are arranged in reverse chronological order. The editorials were selected from the editorial collection maintained by the Library Services Division.

Indeed, the ‘ rest of the world —~ including two major suppliers, the EC and Canada —- would have to reduce their market share from about 11.8 percent through July 1985 to about 8.0 percent, or by approximately 32 percent, if the congressional steel import share target of 20.2 percent is to be met. 12/ As it stands, the combined

The Tax Reform Act of 1986 (h.r. 3838): Effective versus statutory marginal tax rates
Date
1986
Summary
Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986 (H.R. 3838) there would be only two statutory marginal tax rates for individuals, 15 and 28 percent. In addition to reducing statutory marginal tax rates, H.R. 3838 would phase out certain tax provisions over various income ranges. These phaseout provisions would produce an effective marginal tax rate schedule considerably different from the statutory schedule. This paper describes the phaseout provisions contained in H.R. 3838 and analyzes their effects on marginal tax rates.

One year after the announcement of the program, it appears that the goal for all steel productslwill only partially be achieved for the 1986-89 period. The import market share for all steel

Even if the 20.2-percent import market share is not achieved, the overall import share is estimated in this report to come down by about 4-percentage points, or by 15 percent from the surge level of 1984, when/imports captured 26
