Roosevelt Not Impressed By Hitler Press Talk Defense Action
President Roosevelt said all possible aid to the Allies was being extended and commented on Hitler's claim that invasion of the Western Hemisphere was grotesque. He announced a $1.498 billion army expansion bill and creation of a national defense research group led by Vannevar Bush. The plan coordinates government and private labs to accelerate defense work while aviation stays under the aeronautics committee. He refused to answer whether the U.S. could supply enough materiel quickly enough, noting it would take two hours to answer the question.
