He cites historic stockpiling of land, buildings, and strategic materials and proposes a nine member House committee to create an inventory and manage sales for debt reduction. He notes varying agency data and highlights a push for broader disposals beyond current stockpile items.

Government holdings vs national debt and Texas highway progress
Congressman Walter Rogers argues the government owns vast unrealized assets worth 209.4 billion dollars but debt exceeds that by 1.2 billion, warning of low official valuations including White House land at 1000 dollars and Texas road work in 1962 shows 81 new interstate miles, 1,895 total, with 3,000 miles planned by 1972. He notes capacity to sell holdings and improve asset use.
