Senator Miller Attacks Gold Proposal “ There are officia ls in the Administration who want to repeal the gold cover so that there will be no discipline preventing them from turning on the printing presses to issue cheap money.” This was the angry reaction of U.S. Senator Jack Miller (RIowa) to reports that plans were afoot to seek easing or elimination of the gold cover for the U.S. dol lar. In a Senate speech, Senator Miller sharply attacked the reported statement by Treasury Secretary Henry Fowler that proposals will be submitted to Congress in the near future regarding the gold backing. The Iowa Republican contrasted this statement with comments by Secretary Fowler on February c before the Joint Senate-House l'ci. nomic Committee. “ I asked Secretary Fowler then whether there were any plans being discussed to ask Congress to reduce or eliminate the gold cover,” Senator Miller recalled, adding: “ The Secretary’ s reply, re corded on page 196 of the Hearings Report, was: ‘ Not at this time. We think we have for the time being a substan tial margin, apd that there is no near-term likelihood that would be necessary . . . As we see the situation now, it is a reasonably stable one, and we wouldn’ t need to ask for the removal of the cover at this time.’ “ This is another example of why there is a credibility gap in Washington,’ ’ Senator Mi ller charged. The Iowa Senator pointed out that at the time the new Adminis tration took over in January of 1961 the Treasury gold stock amounted to $17.7 billion, that it had dropped to $13.1 billion at the end of 196H, and was listed at $13 billion as of the end of last August, the lowest since 1938. “ With a 25 percent cover re quired for U.S. and Federal Reserve notes amounting to $9.7 billion, this leaves only $3.3 billion of ‘ free gold ’ to meet potential short term dollar claims o f $14 billion held by official institutions of foreign countries,” Senator Miller said. “ D eficit spending and infla tionary p olicies which have cheap ened the American dollar are at B U L L E T IN S ....
