Johnson signs bill to funnel more funds into mortgage market
President Johnson signed a law to push up to 4.76 billion into mortgage markets and aid the home building industry. He urged Congress to pass anti inflation steps, suspending the 7 percent investment credit for 16 months and limiting depreciation write offs for new buildings. The move drew criticism from business groups, with Joel Barlow of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce accusing the plan of weakening the depreciation tax structure and delaying inflation control. Johnson argued the credit limits would free mortgage funds and expand home ownership opportunities while Treasury Secretary Fowler opposed suspending the credit.
