GAO casts doubt on New York City loan repayment plan
GAO head Elmer Staats testifies that the agency is less optimistic than Treasury Secretary Simon about NYC's ability to repay emergency federal loans and balance its budget. Senator Proxmire says the report is not as favorable, while Governor Carey warns federal partnership is essential and questions about bond market reentry remain. Proxmire rejects extending the loan act beyond June 30 1978. Simon says he has no plan to request more aid for the city.
