A bill by Rep. Henry Reuss and Senator Jacob Javits would devalue the dollar by raising gold to as much as 38 dollars an ounce, giving the President power to raise the price up to 10 percent. Treasury opposes the measure, saying the administration does not back devaluation or gold price changes. The proposal follows Treasury remarks that the United States would “talk about anything” to settle the monetary deadlock created after Nixon closed the gold window on August 15.
