Interest Rates On Revolving
Loans To Indians Reduced

A substantial reduction in in
terest rates charged on loans
from the revolving fund of the
Bureau of Indian Affairs, in line
with recommendations of the
Task Force on Indian Affairs for
economic development on Indian
reservations, was announced to-
day by the Interior Secretary
Stewart L. Udall.
The most important reduction
is from the Az to 2 per cent on
loans to tribes for land acqui-
sition.
Another important change is in
the rate of loans to tribes to
finance business enterprises. A
uniform rate of Az per cent has
been charged in the past. The new
regulation will permit a rate as
low as 2 per cent and as high as
5, depending upon the income
producing ability of the erter-
prise, and the benefits it will
bring to Indians.
Indian young people receiving
loans for educational purposes
also will get some relief under
the new revolving regulations. Up
20 the present time, interest has
been charged on such loans from
the time they we're made. This
has worked a hardship on many
borrowers because interest &C
crued during the educational
period. Upon graduation they
were faced with large debts,

much of which represented inter
est accruals. The new regulation
provides that interest accrual will
not begin until one year after
completion of the course for
which the loan was made.
The rate of loans to individual
Indians for agricultural operat
ing expenses is also being re
duced from 6 to 5 per cent, and
the new regulations provide for
greater flexibility in the rate
charged cooperative associations
In the past, cooperative associa
tons have been charged 5 pei
cent a year. The amended regu
lations will permit rates ranging
from 2 to 5 per cent according
to the nature of the coopera,
tive's business.
The Department pointed out
that since the currently author.
lied amount of $40 million for
the revolving fund is inadequate
to meet the demands of Indians
for loans, the effectiveness OF
the new regulations in stimulat-
ing greater economic develop
ment on reservations will depend
largely on enactment of pending
legislation to increase the size
of the fund.
