Dear Editor, This is my comment on Laura McClintic’s letter (December 2) in The Mail-Journal When will she and other people realize »here are affluent people in tnis world? The world needs rich and laboring people alike to exist Most laboring people's employers have more wealth than they This is what makes America — different classes and wealth in society. Why show asperity for our administration’’ Why get provoked when our FTesident apd First Lady spend donations on dishes, etc ? These possessions are usually on display in the White House or museum after their stint there for the American people to view —that's history, it’s customary Have you (not) traveled to Washington, DC., and viewed the archives on display donated by our Presidents? As for helping the needy, there are some crazy, preposterous and daffy people in our society. They live for today, care less for the future Too many irrespon sible people not caring for their children When are people going

to show concern and have dignity? As for helping abroad. I feel, the elected government in that country should have the audacity to help its people more than they do. Some organizations area farce. And for air controllers — they were cautioned. The powerful union bosses are behind this. You say legalize the (PATCO) strike? Will you then agree that all government workers are free to strike'’ This may be the answer if Bill HR 4375 is passed This ludicrous bill, if passed, could exercise an ominous tragedy. Stop and weigh the pros and cons thoughtfully “Our freedom is slowly losing it’s meaning " Marie Mock

am pleased to announce that we are proposing a new ‘marketbased,” variable rate for Savings Bonds. This proposal — to be submitted by the administration to the Congress in the next few weeks with a request for prompt legislative action — will modernize and reestablish the Savings Bond instrument as a viable savings vehicle “Our proposal is to establish a new rate for savings bonds held at least five years. That rate would be 85 per cent of the average return on five-year treasury securities during the holding period “For example, if you buy a Savings Bond and redeem it after five years, and if the average rate for five-year marketables during the holding period was 12.5' per cent, your bond would earn 10 6 per cent upon its redemption. “Furthermore, if you are currently holding a bond purchased under an existing fixed rate schedule, and if that bond is held another five years, it would automatically receive the new 85 per cent rate for that five-year period, if that rate is higher than the fixed rates already promised Secretary Regan pointed out that the new rates mean that bondholders can be confident that regardless how high market rates go. savings bonds will continue to offer fair return. They will be pegged to market rates when the interest rates go up but will have a guaranteed floor when the rates go dow n “This change.” Secretary Regan said, “w ill provide needed improvement for the small saver who has been loyally participating m the program, for the nonsaver who needs an incentive to start saving, and for the nation itself A high level of participation will help reduce government borrowing in the public money markets and relieve the pressure on interest rates. I am confident that the Congress will give us speedy action on this proposal so that the rate of return on savings bonds remain fair over time, and that they remain available to the millions of people who need their kind of safety and convenience ” The Secretary also pointed out that market based rates will be the only change. All other features of Savings Bonds — denominations, tax advantages, purchasing through payroll savings plans, safety, and the bond's physical appearance — remain the same
