Bankers Trust backs rate cut claim to ease woe
Alfred Brittain II, president of Bankers Trust Co. of New York, testified before the House Banking Committee that the bank's earlier prime rate increases helped stabilize the economy by preserving lending capacity for small businesses and essential borrowers. He said residential mortgages would stay at 7.2 percent and small business rates would rise less than the prime rate. The hearing featured friction between Patman and Kennedy over inflation control and possible steps against rate hikes. Kennedy denied any conflict of interest and rejected a national usury law, arguing against artificial rate limits. President Nixon indicated no immediate action beyond existing anti inflation measures.
