War Bonds in the Second World War: A Model for Hurricane Recovery Bonds?
Description:
Severe damage and dislocations resulting from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita have
rekindled congressional interest in the concept of the sale of a Treasury security to
finance recovery and relief operations. The question has been raised whether or not the
issuance of war bonds during the Second World War serves as a good model for new
“hurricane recovery bonds.” Two bills have been introduced that would permit the
issuance of some form of hurricane relief bond: H.R. 3892 and H.R. 3935.
