Disney Amendment Shapes War Era Salary Rules
The House passed the Debt Limit Bill raising the ceiling from 125 to 210 billion dollars and, in Section 4 known as the Disney Amendment, limited executive salaries to a net of 25 000 unless earned before December 7 1941. The vote records were not kept, but the author backed Section 4 arguing law should govern salaries during the war. The same session approved continuing Lend Lease aid 407 to 6, signaling broad support for the administration in wartime.
