The Nixon administration cut the maximum interest rate on government backed mortgages to 7 percent, the third reduction in three months, aiming to revive the housing market. The rate, at 7 percent, returns to 1968 levels after peaking at 8 percent last year for FHA and VA insured loans with an extra half percent insurance fee on FHA mortgages. Housing Secretary George Romney said the move should help buyers plan and boost home building.
