Ask Congress For Sweeping Powers For The President
Roosevelt urged rapid action on a vast lease lead program and administration leaders asked Congress to grant the president sweeping powers to transfer and dispose of defense articles to Britain and other democracies. The bill would authorize manufacture or purchase of defense articles, sale or transfer to eligible governments, testing and repair, sharing of defense information, and export releases. Government bases could be used to outfit and repair weapons vital to U.S. defense with funds to be appropriated as needed, potential costs estimated up to 10 billion dollars.
