Roosevelt calls for monetary reform and gold revaluation
President Roosevelt urges national control of gold reserves and a revaluation range of the dollar between 50 and 60 percent of the current gold content. He seeks power to seize gold assets, create a two billion dollar fund from possible gains, and appoint a program to restore dollar purchasing power, while avoiding greenback currency. Congress moves quickly, with Morgenthau arguing for the legislation and debates shaping the plan amid partisan views.
