Treasury received an exemption to issue $10 billion worth of bonds without regard to the ceiling. Shultz said he had no new interest rate in mind for U.S. savings bonds, which now pay 5.5 percent a year.

Eurns first advanced the idea of a Treasury bond to allow taxpayers to invest their refund checks. Burns said the large refund checks being paid out now could lead to high consumer spending and touch off inflationary pressures. Because of overwithholding of taxes from paychecks, federal income tax refunds in 1972 totaled an estimated $22 billion, up $8 billion from a year earlier, and the highest on record. The high withholdi ing rate is continuing. The administrations proposals were outlined at a hearing which Shultz requested an increase of $20 billion in the federal debt ceiling to $485 bilFederal See some of the 1 CHAIR But the secretary gave no hint of the interest rate that the government might pay, nor how long a taxpayer would have to hold his check before it began drawing interest. r There are various and complicated reasons for the serious decline in wildlife populations.

In making the request before the House Ways and Means Committee, Treasury Secretary George P. Shultz said the administration has made no decision yet on whether to seek an increase in the four-ceper gallon federal gasoline tax or an Increase in any other taxes.
