Treasury Broadens
Debt Retirement of
Low Interest Bills
WASHINGTON 'AIM The
Treasury has broadened its federal
debt retirement program to redeem
in cash some of its 90-day 's per
cent bills, lowest interest rate sc.
curities the Government issues i
Secretary Snyder announced thai i
$200,000,000 of' a $1 .:)(). 000. (100 is- !

17 will be paid oil' in cash Then
$1,100,000,000 in new !)0 day '' per

the rest.
of
For years, maturing 90-day hills i
'have been refinanced each we-k!
by issuance of new bills equal in
'amount to the bills maturing, so
1 1 hat no cash payment has been in
I volved.
There are indications in well
informed quarters that the Treas
ury probably will continue pnymi;
off $200,000,000 of the approxinial e
; v $1,300,000,000 in these bills ma
luring each week from April 17 to
June :it).
'That would mean ret ii einenl by
ihe end of this fiscal year ef $2,
200,000,000 of these bill s which
currently make up a little more
than $17,000,000,000 of the $257
.175.000.000 Federal debt
It is on these bills that pressure
for an increase in interest rates
paid by the government has been
hardest.
Mr. Snyder said, however, that
retirement of the bills has no re
lalion to Treasury policy with re
spect to interest rates and that no
change in policy presently is con
templated. Mr. Snyder said there are no
higher-interest securities maturing:
until June 1, when a $2.77r.0()0,000
issue of 7 tit hs per cent eerlilicales
of indebtedness falls due.
Meanwhile, with current fiscal
operations keeping the budget in
balance and providing a surplus,
the Treasury has "an ample cash
balance" $5. 102. 000. 000 t
use in retirement of hills, Snvdi-r
said.
'Thus far. the 'Treasury has re
tired $22,000,000,000 of the Federal
debt since it initiated March I.
