Bond Bill Reported by House Committee Vote
Four Democrats refuse to sanction the committee action and two sign a minority report against the measure. The Ways and Means Committee voted 8 to 5 to report a resolution authorizing the treasury secretary to issue gold bonds at par with gold standard provisions. The plan aims to fund redemption reserves and avoid gold-bond issuance, citing dangers to public finance if gold bonds were standard. The dissent reiterates opposition to bonds repayable in gold and warns of broader bad effects on government and private markets.
