bility of the local community.
AS a means of providing this
encouragement. | proposed this
week an industrial FILA program
This is a plan for Statc-inSurcd
loans for construction of manu-
featuring facilities and industrial
research projects.
To put this plan into action, !
have asked the legislature, by
Joint resolution. to put conSti-
tutional amendment on the April
s ballot
The amendment would permit
the state to pledge its faith and
credit as guarantee for repayment
Of such industrial loans.
Now, il must be understood
that while the authorizing of a
large sum is necessary, dhc
amendment would authorize up
TO 500 million) little il any state
money would actually be involv-
ID. The loans would be repaid

borrower dcfaultcd would the
state get into the picture.
The easiest way to explain the
plan is TO say that il does for
