Treasury Looks For Okay On Debt
The Senate faces a midnight Friday deadline to approve an increase in the national debt limit. If not acted, the permanent ceiling rises to 358 billion only after July 1, 1968 and the Treasury could face an “Out of Business” scenario. The House earlier approved the hike to 358 billion with extra room after July 1. Senate leaders expect swift action to avoid losses in current year funding and proceed to final approval and presidential signature.
