Federal debt limit increase urged by Shultz in hearing
Treasury Secretary George P. Shultz asked Congress to raise the debt ceiling to 485 billion dollars in testimony before the House Ways and Means Committee. He proposed removing the 5 percent cap on savings bond interest, eliminating the 44.5 percent rate ceiling on most Treasury bonds, and allowing income tax refunds to be issued as uncashed checks that become bonds. A one year temporary ceiling would be extended, with a 472 billion dollar debt by June 30 1974 and a 6 billion cash balance plus 3 billion contingency margin.
