Million-Dollar Budget Plan Boosts Public Works Push
President Roosevelt asked Congress to taper emergency relief spending while preserving funds for road construction navy shipbuilding and TVA projects. He proposed $1322 million in flexibility with $100 million for roads $40 million for shipbuilding $48 million for TVA and other allocations totaling about $8.6 billion. He warned exceeding the amount would risk the next year's budget and urged action to sustain recovery efforts through early 1985. Banks were urged to increase their credit role to support the recovery as the Civilian Conservation Corps and Civil Works programs faced funding decisions. The deficit stood above $3 billion for the current year.
