President Roosevelt outlines a plan to consolidate welfare, works and relief functions into a new federal agency, the Works Projects Administration. The name change to Works Projects Administration aims for clearer purpose, with budget and agency shifts across the federal structure and a 60 day effective window unless opposed by Congress. Key agencies under the plan include the Social Security Board, Civilian Conservation Corps, Public Roads, Public Works Administration, and Federal loan authorities with several farm and housing programs moving to Agriculture. Roosevelt also taps William M. Lelserson for the National Labor Relations Board and reports an Army appropriation bill of over 508 million dollars for defense spending next fiscal year.
