It is not possible to make a re-evaluation of these figures until it is known what sums Congress will appropriate for the agency.

I may add that at this time it is not anticipated that it will be necessary or desirable to place restrictions on the expenditure of funds available for fiscal year 1948.

By virtue of the authority vested in me by sections 1 of the act of March 3, 1925, 43 Stat. 1212, it is hereby ordered as follows:

From this conference I hope there will develop a specific program of methods for discouraging further inflation in farm real estate prices and unwise expansion of farm debts.

I am deeply concerned about the recent rise in farm real estate prices.

This order shall be effective as of August 2, 1946.

The Secretary of State, the Secretary of War, the Attorney General, and the Secretary of the Navy are authorized to provide appropriate assistance to the member herein designated in the performance of his duties and may assign or detail…

The Portal-to-Portal Act should end this uncertainty with respect to claims of still undetermined magnitude.

I trust that with the passage of the Portal-to-Portal Act, relieving the business community of a heavy burden of doubt, the Congress will now turn to a re-examination of minimum wage standards.

If those effects prove to be detrimental to the maintenance of fair labor standards for our workers, I shall request the Congress to take prompt remedial action.

It is not the purpose of the Act to permit violation of our fundamental wage and hour standards, or to allow a lowering of these standards.

I am convinced that immediate amendment of the Act to provide a minimum of at least 65 cents an hour is necessary.

I believe that, in the interest of the economic stability of our Nation, it is essential to clarify this matter by statute.

Yes, I have seen some definite results from it.

Well, Carl Hatch is my friend, and I think very highly of him.
