In Washington on January 22 insurgent Democrats gained a partial victory by allowing amendments to key sections of the 4.88 billion relief bill while preserving a lump sum 4 billion work relief appropriation. They kept control over fund allocation, with President Roosevelt to determine disbursement. The caucus backed plans to modify the gag rule on the floor and left several drainage and harbor projects unspecified amid committee opposition.
