He argued Congress lacks oversight on relief rolls and waste in programs like rural resettlement and the Agricultural Adjustment Administration. The agency would draft yearly budget recommendations, akin to the current Budget Bureau. Rep. Taylor and the House Appropriations Committee are pressed to study large peacetime defense spending, potentially exceeding a billion dollars with a Navy request for a $50 million rise.
