Byrd to Probe Kennedy Debt Increase Plan
Sen. Harry F. Byrd says President Kennedy seeks a 10 billion dollar rise in the national debt limit and orders a Senate Finance Committee inquiry into federal spending and taxation before any boost to 308 billion. Treasury Secretary Dillon asks for 2 billion by March 1 and 8 billion next July to cover peak debt and keep operating under the ceiling. Byrd may accept a temporary rise to 300 billion but demands full financial disclosure and cautions about high tax burden and spending.
