Dr Amos N Johnson urged expanding UNC Medical School from 75 to 200 students and creating a Greenville eastern center to train and retain doctors. He estimated doubling state output in 10 years would cost about 35 million for expansion versus over 100 million to open a new school over 15 years.

Plan to Save Virginia Toll Bonds From Default
Richmond investment banker William A. Stevens proposed a pre funding plan to avert default on Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel Series C bonds. A new Virginia Toll bond authority would issue about 375 million dollars in revenue bonds to refinance five toll projects and invest proceeds in U S Treasury bonds, creating an estimated 2 million dollars yearly gap to cover interest. If adopted by the General Assembly, the plan would extend tolls at some facilities beyond current removal dates to maintain revenue. The Series C bonds face default in January 1970 without a solution.
