NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF INSURANCE AGENTsZP Jb!!!!
NEW YORK CITY
SEPTEMBER ~ 21, 19~6
--, 11~
I am with you today in three capacities:
As an
official of your government; as one of your customers; and
as a fellow small-business man.
As a government official, I should like to commend
you for the stress you put upon civic activity in your home
communities.
Local government that is alert, effective, and
constantly on its toes -- and people who keep it that way -are essential to our national strength and vitality.
As you know, President Johnson is committed to the
principle and practice of creative federalism -- a working
partnership between all levels of government, as well as
-2The federal government, under the President's
concept, does not move in and shoulder aside local governments.
Instead, it offers them stimulation and support -- but looks to
them to initiate and carry through the programs needed to
meet their own problems.
The ball is in their hands --and we look to active
citizens such as yourselves to help them carry it forward.
A_ Speaking as one of your customers,
I commend you
for the high professiona I standards and independent judgment
you have brought to helping Americans protect themselves
against many of the risks of property loss.
As you know, one important risk to property not now
covered by i nsu ranee is that of floods.
I know that you have
taken a keen interest in the recent report of the Department
of Housing and Urban Development, which finds that such
insurance is feasible and can promote the public interest.
The President has asked that this report be reviewed
both by Congress and by interested groups such as yours.
-3Secretary Weaver has stated that his Department
stands ready -- in cooperation with other federal agencies,
the states, and private i nsu ranee interests -- to develop,
over the next few months, proposals for action, including
appropriate legislation.
I know that we count on your help and your knowledge
and practical experience in preparing these proposals.
I am speaking to you also as one small, independent
business man to others.
As you know, I was a pharmacist
before I strayed into education and politics.
And I sti II retain
an interest in the Humphrey family drugstore in SouthDakota.
In this world of corporate giants, it is good that
·-
small business continues to flourish -- and, as a Senator
and
Vic~President,
~--
..
I have done my best to keep it flourishing.
--~
Small business contributes an essential and
irreplaceable element of personal commitment and individual
initiative to our economy.
-4And what is big business, in many cases, but
small business which has grown and succeeded?
As fellow-businessmen, I think we would agree
that business is good.
Since early 1961 -- the low point of the fourth
recession si nee the war, the third in eight years -- our
economy has been on the way up.
As I speak to you today,
it is in its 67th month of continuous expansion.
For the past two and a half years our annual growth
rate has been 5. 6 per cent.
And our prosperity has been widely shared -- by
small business as well as large and by the worker, the
farmer, and the professional man.
Meanwhile, the deficit in our national budget, which
reached a historic peak of over 12 bi Ilion dollars in 1959,
has actually been cut to a little over 2 bi Ilion dollars.
During all this unparalleled economic expansion --
-5and I want to stress this point -- our record of price
stability has been unmatched by any other industrial
country in the free world.
All of us, as Americans, can take justified pride
in these accomplishments.
Sound and well-timed government economic policy,
developed in close partnership with the , Congress, have made
a major contribution.
But we should recognize that the important contribution
has been made by the creative energies of the private sector.
I believe there is growing public confidence in the
capacity and willingness of the government to take the actions
needed to help keep the economy strong and stable.
As a resu It,
rnost of us no longer regard recurring booms and busts as
inevitable, as many of us once did.
As confidence has grown, so has private responsibility
and restraint.
-61n a free enterprise economy such as ours, these
attitudes of economy maturity are powerfu I forces for
economic health.
Early this year, it became clear that the demands of
the Vietnam war, added to our past economic expansion,
required some restraining action.
To slam on the brakes would have been simple -- but
it might very well have put us through the windshield.
And we have proceeded accordingly.
At the beginning of this year, the President and
the Congress took action to reduce inflationary pressure by
taking something like 10 billion dollars in purchasing power
out of the economy. This was done through restored excise
taxes, graduated withholding of individual taxes, and a variety
of other measures.
In addition, the President clamped severe restraints
on all federal expenditures except those of the highest priority,
-7and postponed capital outlays wherever possible.
Now the time has come to deal directly with one of
the major factors pushing up prices -the surge in business
spending for plant and equipment.
We fully realize the importance of maintaining such
investment at a level high enough to assure steadily
rising production and job opportunities in the years ahead.
But, in present circumstances, the current and prospective
level of business investment is simply too high.
Moreover the increasing volume of spending for
1
~s~s
i nvestm,ent has been a main cause of mounting
rates.
interest
,..
_.
It has also diverted financial resources from
other important areas of economic activity -- particularly
state and local governments, potential home-owners, and
sma II business.
To meet these problems, the President has proposed
prudent and precautionary measures against inflation additional
-8to those taken some months ago:
- Strong measures to reduce by an estimated
3 bi Ilion dollars that portion of federal expenditures under
direct Presidential control.
- A temporary suspension, unti I January 1, 1968,
of the 7 per cent tax credit on investment in plant and
equipment and of the accelerated depreciation provisions
for commercial and industrial construction.
- A rigid curtailment of federal agency borrowing
for the remainder of this year.
Other programs already under way to ease the
plight of groups hit hard by the credit shortages include:
- Legislation just signed by the President to
permit an additional 4. 7 bi Ilion dollars in Federal National
Mortgage Association {"Fannie May'' funds for home
mortgages.
-9- Legislation moving through the Congress which
wi II give federal agencies authority to keep the interest
rates paid by financial institutions at reasonable levels.
The measures proposed by the President wi II benefit
all Americans -- but most directly those who have been
elbowed aside in the scramble for credit, because of
shortages of funds and rising interest rates.
Small business, home buyers, states and
municipalities, college students, and consumers generally
wi II have greater access to credit.
I have heard complaints in some quarters that the
President•s program is 11anti -business. " This is simply not
true.
No one is proposing any additional burden on business
investment.
All that is being asked is that business
temporarily forego certain special tax benefits -- benefits,
I might add, which have been in effect only si nee 1962.
-10What we are asking -- and asking only for the
limited period of 16 months -- is that investment be
slowed to help meet the threat of inflation.
Finally, let me emphasize how important it is,
during this period of economic strain, for all sectors of
the economy to act responsibly, with the public interest
constantly in mind.
The President has asked banks to handle loans
equitably and without excessive profits.
He has asked business to restrain its use of credit,
to keep inventories at reasonable levels, to postpone investments
where possible, to set prices on the basis of real costs, and
to limit profits to those appropriate in an expanding economy.
And he has asked labor to avoid wage demands that
would raise the average level of costs and prices, to permit
the necessary number of new entrants into its trades, and
to cooperate with business in raising productivity.
-111f some of us act on the principle: "Each for
himself and the devi I take the hindmost, " all of us in
the end would suffer -- either through a runaway inflation
or a disastrous depression.
But if we act as responsible citizens of this complex
and interdependent economy, we can keep it functioning to
the great and growing benefit of all of us -- including
your clients and yourselves.
I have enough confidence in the common sense
and maturity of Americans to believe that they wi II exercise
restraint and act in the common interest, so that America
wi II continue to grow and prosper without repeating the
economic mistakes of the past.
