The Senate today passed a $7.5-billion Superfund bill that calls for financing an expanded toxic waste cleanup effort through 1990 with a new tax on large manufacturers.

The measure, approved by an 86-13 roll call, went to the House, where a $10-billion Superfund renewal bill is awaiting action by several committees and is slated for floor action the week of Oct. 14.
