Pacific Funding Bill Authorizes Settlement of Union Pacific Debt
Senate report by Senator Frye urges passage of the Outhwaite Union Pacific funding bill without amendment. It outlines that substantial government security involves a second lien while unsubsidized lines lack government lien, favors a 3 percent initial rate and 8 percent bonds, with payments over 50 years, and requires a mortgage on all property to secure bonds. The committee argues the bill protects U S interests, ends disputes, accelerates sinking fund payments, and grants broad security through a government-backed mortgage on the railroad system.
