The Board of Directors of the National League of Cities has made certain recommendations. . Mayor Anderson is a member of that advisory council and was asked to contact Senator ,Packwood and secure his support. The NLC is expressing concern about a possible bail-out for New York, which this certainly should not be. They feel that the tax-exempt status of municipal bonds is threatened and that the New York state government in this instance should do m::>re. They do not want nationalization .of the bond market. In talking with Senator Packwood's office, there are three proposaJs, which are somewhat fuzzy according to Mayor Anderson. One, would involve taxable bonds to be guaranteed by the federal government for New York. An9ther would establish a fund to enable New York to balance its budget and borrow from the fund. A third would be a guarantee similar to that developed for Lockheed. Aircraft. In this one some definite strings would be attached whereby a 3-year plan would be plotted out e for New York to work out so much of their deficit each year, reaching certain points along the way in order for the federal guarantee to be retained. Mayor Anderson's own feeling is ,that the matter should be treated as a serious setback for local government. He feels New York should be penalized for excesses 10/27/75 - 18 S7()
