Herbert Hoover: “Containing 4905.69 acres according to the plats on file in the General Land Office”

Any study of many of these public works provisions will indicate plainly their pork-barrel characteristics.

While these features in the Wagner and the Garner bills are not in the form and are not as well safeguarded as they should be, they are in line with major objectives I have been advocating.

It was unfortunate also that the provision for agricultural relief through the Reconstruction Corporation was omitted.

No such suggestion has ever been made by any American official.
