Prove, Utah-P- 21 age It's Now Legally Permissable To Make Wine, Beer at Home - WASHINGTON ,ITIi Americans may now brew beer in the home legally for the first time, and it is no longer necessary to obtain a Treasury Department license to make wine. Any single person over 18 100 gallons a year of each spirit legally and taxfree. In a household of two cr more people over 18. the limit goes to 200 gallons a year The story of how this happened is the story of how t minor bill can become submerged in the closing days of Congress, go through final passage and be signed by the president with absolutely no notice. The beer and wine bill was signed by President Carter as part of a minor t revenue bill last Saturday as attention focused on the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue where Congress was beginning its fjnal marathon push toward adjournment. The White House merely issued a statement saying Carter had signed four bills and gave a one paragraph description of each, including: 1337, which (1) amends the Internal Revenue Code with respect to certain excise taxes and the treatment, for income tax purposes, of certain distributions from retirement plans; and (2) permits certain persons to receive cash payments in lieu of food stamps. " That also was the beer and wine bill, but there was no way of telling this fact from the White House announcement. In fact, the beer and wine bill was not even mentioned when the underlying dealing with the excise parent bill tax on trucks, buses and tractors received final passage in the Senate Sept. 28. It was merely mumbled through by voice vote, and the printed Congressional Record did not even mention beer and wine. The last time the bill was mentioned at all was when the House, on Sept. 12, agreed to the Senate amendments to H.R. 1337. One of those amendments was the beer and wine bill. It is quite common for such minor bills to be combined into clusters of amendments to unrelated legislation, a process sometimes called making a Christmas tree" of the parent bill And it is just as common for these bills which often aid only one industry or one individual, to receive little notice Conable called it "a bill which many citizens with their traditions of in- dependence would like to have available to them if they wish to produce their own beverages at home, rather than relv on the beer barons or the people who produce wine in large quantities commercially."
