I commend to the favorable consideration of the Congress the inclosed report of the committee to the end that legislation may be enacted to authorize an appropriation of $1,725,000 for the expenses of representation at and participation in…

About ten million become necessary due to the change of wording of the emergency relief bill in respect to highways.

If the Board finds it necessary to have further funds it should be possible to make provision for them in ample time as Congress will no doubt be in session by the time they are required.

After many years of contention we have at last made a constructive start at agricultural relief with the most important measure ever passed by Congress in aid of a single industry.

I earnestly hope that the Congress will enact the conferees report and allow us to enter upon the building of a sound agricultural system rather than to longer deprive the farmer of the relief which he sorely needs.

It is never possible to make much of a determination in advance of what the action of the Senate will be relative to the time of securing a vote on any question that is pending there.

In the case of events that everybody knows will occur it ought either to be provided by law or not provided for at all.

I therefore return the bill without my approval.

I don't see how either body could have been conducted during the session better than they were, and it is very difficult to see how they could have produced more constructive legislation and spent less time in useless debate than was spent…

I thought it was especially to the credit of the Congress that they had functioned as a legislative body in accordance with recommendations that I had made in my [message] without being constantly forced into some position by action on my…
