Higher Debt Ceiling Visioned By Dillon
Secretary of the Treasury Dillon told the Senate Finance Committee that a higher debt ceiling than 38 billion dollars will be needed if a federal deficit occurs next year. He and Budget Director Bell supported the House measure fixing a temporary 308 billion dollar limit for most of the fiscal year starting Sunday. They said 308 billion is the absolute minimum for orderly finances and to cover seasonal cash needs in fiscal 1963 within a balanced budget. President Kennedy had forecast a balanced budget, but officials said the outlook is now in jeopardy.
