Congress urged to tighten Gold Clause policy to end sue rights
President Roosevelt urged immediate legislation to close loopholes in the new monetary system. The plan would allow payment in cash for gold clause securities, terminate the United States consent to be sued on securities, and reaffirm equal dollar for dollar payments to all holders, ensuring government immunity from suit. The move aims to prevent private speculation and safeguard federal financial policy.
