This same committee member is also insistent that  the company  turn to borrowed funds as needed to augment existing funds so that all of the projects that are attractive to the committee,  and that promise a return that is higher than the borrowing rate,  can be accepted.Other committee members expressed concern about that approach but the time scheduled for adjourning the meeting arrived before the disagreement was resolved.
