Senator Hayden, Democrat of Arizona, introduced an amendment to the relief deficiency bill in the Senate to add 700 million dollars for the Public Works Administration. He argued the move would unlock more of 6,204 PWA applications and yield over 1.5 billion dollars in new construction, while costing taxpayers less than half that amount. The measure accompanies the existing 1.425 billion for social security, TVA, and work relief.
