Roosevelt asks Congress for $300 million to aid unemployed
President Roosevelt sent a letter to Speaker Rayburn requesting an emergency appropriation of 300 million dollars to aid thousands of workers facing job losses as U.S. industry shifts to war production. Federal officials had estimated a higher need, but Congress limited the request to 300 million. The plan would cover the gap between state unemployment benefits and 60 percent of prior earnings, up to 24 dollars weekly.
