Roosevelt asks new lend-lease fund for war supplies
President Roosevelt asked Congress for a $3.45 billion new appropriation to augment the lend-lease program, bringing total available funds for the fiscal year to about $7.19 billion and overall lend-lease to around $28 billion since it began. The request covers industrial products for aircraft and tanks, food, and allied war-related needs, with direct military and naval support drawn from War and Navy accounts. Senator Ellender urged more facts on reverse lend-lease and a national policy on final settlements, noting the U.S. extensions and reverses up to March 13 and current reverse value.
