"I cannot too much overemphasize the importance and the able nonpartisan effort being made by both the Economy Committee of the House and the Ways and Means Committee"
"The loans made to railroads amount to $47 million"

"A very considerable part of this $47 million will be repaid at an early date by the Railway Credit Corporation as fast as its revenues come in"
