...declared in favor of legislation to provide "security against several of the great disturbing factors in life-especially those which relate to unemployment and old age...." Thereafter he appointed a Committee on Economic Security, which in turn gathered around it a group of expert advisers to plow the virgin field of "social security" and raise a fruitful crop of legislative ideas.
