Hoover Defers Dictating Farm Relief Bill Plan
President Hoover says he will not dictate the terms or name of the farm relief bill during the special session. He expects Congress's agriculture committees to craft a constructive measure, outlines views in the April 15 message, and favors a McNary-Haugen inspired basis with no stance on the title. The plan maintains separation of powers while consulting with committee members as needed.
