British debt settlement proposal eyed by Washington
Washington officials anticipate a British plan to refund a debt to the United States. The proposal would likely set a 62 year payment period with principal and interest detailed, aiming to stabilize postwar economics. The British would pay principal in full first, then an annuity-like schedule, but Congress would require clear principal and interest terms and a rate near 1.0 to 2.0 percent.
