UNITED AMERICANS FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS et al.

The judgment is affirmed.

Mr. Justice WHITE, joined by THE CHIEF JUSTICE and Mr. Justice REHNQUIST, dissenting.

1

The District Court struck down the California statute providing state income-tax reductions for taxpayers sending their children to nonpublic schools. The Court summarily affirms this judgment. For the reasons stated in my dissent in Committee for Public Education & Religious Liberty v. Nyquist, 413 U.S. 756, 813-824, 93 S.Ct. 2955, 37 L.Ed.2d 948 (1973). I disagree and respectfully dissent.
