...conditions through Federal action, I am convinced that the success of our whole program and the permanent security of our people demand that we adjust all expenditures within the limits of my Budget estimate." All last week Congressmen pondered these words, the first they had heard in such a vein from Franklin Roosevelt in nearly four years. Most were pleased that the President's good intentions towards the Budget corresponded with their own-pleased and a little uneasy as they wondered just how much action such good intentions required...
