SB A Administrator James Sanders said the effort would provide reduced interest rate federal loans and guarantee pri vate loans to small businesses whose trade has been cut by up to 50 percent by the “peso crisis.” The Aug. 5 devaluation of the peso, the most recent and drastic over the past six months, made U.S. goods more than twice as expensive as they had been in American stores for Mexicans shopping across the border and chan dollars. At the same time, it made changing pesos to goods in Mexican stores far cheaper for American consum ers armed with dollars. As Sanders announced the re lief program in Washington, similar news conferences were held simultaneously by SBA officials in California, New Mex ico and Arizona. ‘We hope this situation will correct itself,” said Sanders, adding that the program would be evaluated in December and, if necessary, extended. “The im mediate crisis is for these people to pay their bills month to month.” BODY WORKS “AT THE BODY WORKS.
