Eshleman fIHI 16th District—Panniylvanla For several weeks, the Con gress has been considering the possibility of granting a $250 million loan guarantee to the Lockheed Aircraft Company. Since the actual loan would come from several large banks throughout the country, the is sue before Congress is whether or not the Federal Government should make a commitment to guarantee payment if Lockheed defaults on that loan. As I write this column, I have not made a final decision about which way to vote. My first inclination was to vote no. I leaned toward the negative because I am philosophically op posed. to using public funds to bail private industry out of trouble except in very limited instances. It seems to me that widespread acceptance of a Fed eral role in shoring up big busi ness could result in destroying important things within free en terprise like incentive and im agination and promoting disas trous things like mismanagement and inefficiency. But, the more I studied the Lockheed situation the more I found reason to rethink. Let me outline some of the more convincing arguments for you: (1) The odds are excellent that Lockheed is not going to default on this loan. Therefore, the Gov ernment would lose no money and simply will have assisted in keeping an important industry operational. Hot Water Needed, Poultry Inspectors Soy The U.S. Department of Ag riculture recently proposed to amend Federal poultry inspec tion regulations to require hot and cold or tempered water at inspection stations. Officials of -USDA’s Consum er and Marketing Service said the proposal would give plant operators a choice-between sup plying hot and cold running water, with a mixing device controlled by the inspector, or, water temperature of at least 75 degrees F. Present regulations do not specify exact water tempera ture. In some plants, only cold water is available at inspection stations for inspectors and plant .

(2) When you stop to think, the matter of loan guarantees is no new pattern of procedure for the Federal Government. FHA and GI mortgages are guaran teed. Bank deposits and savings and loan deposits are guaran teed. The Small Business Ad ministration guarantees loans made to small businessmen by private banks. And, the Con gress approved a guaranteed loan for Penn Central within the last year on the basis that the loan served the rational interest. (3) The present outlook for an improvement in the economic picture and a bettering of the employment situation would be damaged severely by a Lockheed shutdown. Not only would thou sands of jobs be lost at the par ent company, but thousands of Americans who work for firms that supply Lockheed would also be put out of work. (4) Probably the most compel ling reason for approval of the loan guarantee is of a very prac tical nature. If Lockheed should fold, the effect of that backrupt cy and the interrelated affect on the suppliers that Lockheed does business with would cause the Federal Government to lose more than $250 million in tax revenue over the next five years. That is not a very academic con sideration, but the kind of prac tical reasoning that Congress can usually understand best and on which this whole question may hinge. employees to wash their hands. This is not considered adequate to meet sanitary and other in spection requirements, officials said. The proposed amendment appeared in the July 20 Fed eral Register. Comments may be submitted in two copies by Aug. 19 to the Hearing Clerk, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. 20250. Per sons wishing to make oral com ments should contact the Stand ards and Services Division, C&MS, USDA. Transcripts of oral comments along with writ ten statements will be available for public inspection in the Hearing Clerk’s office. MH-30 THE DEPENDABLE TOBACCO SUCKER INHIBITOR Phone Lane. 397-3539
