Ike Asks Higher Debt and Bond Rates
President Eisenhower asked Congress for permission to pay higher interest on savings bonds and to raise the national debt ceiling. He proposes removing the 3.14 percent ceiling on savings bonds and boosting rates for other bonds, with a temporary debt limit rise and new flexibility for financing. Senate and House leaders offered mixed views, with debate centering on potential inflation and overall federal spending. Goldwater supports higher rates but opposes increasing the debt ceiling. Byrd calls for spending reductions.
