Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"I recommend that an appropriation of $1,500,000,000 be provided for work relief for the fiscal year 1938."

"We must resist these importunities or provide the necessary revenues to meet the increasing costs."

"I regard it as extremely important that we should achieve a balance of actual income and outgo for the fiscal year 1938."

"I am, therefore, asking your Committee to give more extended consideration to the whole subject of Federal relationship to state and local conduct of education and to let me have a report."
