President Reagan will take a break from his grass-roots barnstorming for his tax revision package for the rest of the summer to concentrate on getting the budget through Congress, White House spokesman Larry Speakes said. Reagan will resume intensive lobbying for the tax plan after Labor Day and throughout the fall, Speakes said. Meanwhile, a new opinion poll on tax revision proposals suggests that public support has slipped since the plan was outlined by the President in a nationally televised speech. A nationwide telephone survey conducted for the Washington Post and ABC News found that 26% endorsed the proposal and 14% opposed it. A majority--60%--had no opinion.
