In addition to name, age, sex, race, the answers to the questions should indicate when the recipient worked last, what at, how much work he did in the previous week and year, whom he supports, whether anyone else in his family is unemployed. Franklin Roosevelt is to give a "fireside" broadcast urging all unemployed to fill out cards.
