Congress urged to fund UN relief and rehabilitation aid
President Roosevelt asked Congress to authorize appropriations for United States participation in UNRRA activities. He said each nation would set its contribution, with a goal of using a small fraction of national income to aid liberated peoples. UNRRA would provide medicine food clothing and basic needs to rebuild, while liberated peoples shoulder much of the effort. He noted the axis claims of devastation and emphasized the initiative was both humanitarian and military necessity. Atlantic City coverage notes expected US costs near a billion and a half dollars with a likely initial request under half a billion.
