Roosevelt urges employment to aid relief bill limits
President Roosevelt told Congress the next year's federal relief bill should be about 1.5 billion dollars drawn from surplus, while signaling willingness to spend more to prevent families from starving. He urged employers to give work to those now receiving government aid to help balance the budget. He did not forecast relief needs for 1938, but plans to propose about 1.537 billion dollars for that year and 780 million for emergency projects in the current five months. The plan aims to keep total relief near two billion through mid-1939, noting RFC loans since 1932 total over 14 billion with about 9 billion already expended and classified as non repayable.
