Committee Favors Abolition of FSA in House Report
A special House committee urged ending the Farm Security Administration and regional agricultural credit, faulting FSA administration from Tugwell to Baldwin for "un-American ideas" and meddling in borrowers' family life. It praised Frank Hancock’s reforms but urged liquidation of resettlement and rural rehabilitation, and transfer of aid to the Farmers Home Corporation. The panel endorsed the tenant farm program and suggested continuing and expanding the Farmers Home program under new structures.
