Debt Repayment
District Could Not Default

Congress will be setting dangerous and absurd precedent
insists upon earmarkng District tax funds to repay the
loan which it proposed that the Public Works
make city the construction improvements
THERE IS NO SOUND REASON FOR THUS SETTING
ASIDE FUNDS TO REPAY THE LOAN. OBVIOUSLY THE
GRATUITOUs INSULT TO THE TAXPAYERS OF THE DIS
TRICT WHICH IS EMBODIED IN THE PROPOSAL IS SIM
PLY ANOTHER PART OF THE GOVERNMENT BY RAGE
TO WHICH THE NATIONAL CAPITAL IS BEING SUB
JECTED
The matter repayment of the loan rests entirely with the
Congress.
The people Of the District could default they wanted to
and they certainly do not want to.
The only way in which orderly repayment could be inter-
fupted if the loan made would be for Congress to fail to
appropriate money the Districts funds and turn them
over to the Federal Government.
In the past Congress failed make the appropriations
nnder similar circumstances.
In fact Congress- in the matter of the Capper a
has somewhat overzalous the matter of repayment It
insisted upon the District paying back million dollars year,
although the full loan made.
Why then should committees 60 Of their way
impugn the credit of debtless District?
Why particularly should the Rules Committee medde in
legislation although is not legislative committee?

Colonel Capaz also reported

It is too bad that Ifni wasn't

that, on the same day OF the
