be on public agency loans probably ought to be written into the basic Reconstruction Finance Corporation Act. I subscribe fully to that view. The CHAIRMAN. How about the limitation of $125,000,000? Is that satisfactory? Mr. GOODLOE. Yes, sir; if that is written into the provisions of this bill with respect to the limitation of the $1,500,000,000, so that it is effective, prospective, from July 1, 1947, when we started operating under what, for convenience, I refer to as the new Reconstruction Finance Corporation Act, that would be adequate as a present limitation. The CHAIRMAN. Is there anything else which you would like to call to our attention at this time? Mr. GOODLOE. Only one other thing. I am not sure whether I mentioned this the other day or not. In the provision in the Senate bill with reference to maturities, there is a specific exception with respect to securities the Corporation may get as a claimant in bankruptcy, or in an equitable reorganization. After that was considered by the Senate committee, there was passed by the Congress the so-called Mahaffie Act, which is an amendment to section 20 (b) of the Interstate Commerce Act. It provides for a method of railroad reorganization that is neither bankruptcy nor, strictly speaking, equity receivership, and in order to make it abundantly clear that that type of situation would likewise be embraced, we would like to suggest the addition of the following language: "or as a creditor, under section 20 of the Interstate Commerce Act, as amended." We would like to see that done in the interest of clarity. I believe that is all I have to suggest, Mr. Chairman. The CHAIRMAN. Are there further questions? Mr. KILBURN. Did I read somewhere, Mr. Goodloe, that you might resign from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation? Mr. GOODLOE. Yes, sir; I suspect you did. The CHAIRMAN. It is a deep secret, Mr. Kilburn, which is known only to 140,000,000 people. Mr. KILBURN. Is that imminent? Mr. GOODLOE. Yes, sir. Mr. KILBURN. I am sorry to hear it. The CHAIRMAN. Are there further questions of Mr. Goodloe? (No response.) The CHAIRMAN. Without objection, the statistical data referred to by Mr. Goodloe will be made a part of this record.
