Roosevelt Expected to Sign Bonus Law This Week
A Democratic official says it is a pretty good bet Roosevelt will sign the Baby Bond bonus payment bill. Senate action appears likely this week with 18 votes or less in opposition, and a margin well over two thirds to override a veto. The Senate Finance Committee favored the measure 15 to 2, with Morgenthau testifying behind it on the plan for $11.3 billion in bonds to be paid from next June 16, offering veterans non-transferable bonds at 3 percent interest for nine years. The bill also allows refunding within the figure, and its aim is to ease bond market concerns while not breaking the debt ceiling.
