Three Billion Dollar Relief Bill Passes House
The House approved the presidents three billion dollar relief bill by a 328 to 70 vote and sent it to the Senate amid a turbulent session. A motion to reassign oversight to state relief was defeated. The package totals 3.154 billion dollars with 2.519 billion direct appropriations and 635 million authorized for administration. A bid to strike a provision loosening debt limits failed 90 to 86. Farm amendments granted relief eligibility and free fertilizer through WPA. Slattery named West's successor as undersecretary of the interior, resolving a long feud with Ickes. West’s retirement clears Ickes’ victory.
