Ffcrm No. 131 V"\/»/»« /^| 1 Orrice C o r r e s p o n d e n c e To Governor Eccles FEDERAL RESERVE B0ARD Subject: Date Aprij.^ 1935 Mendment to Relief From J- M. .Daiger Since my earlier memorandum this morning about the status of the relief bill, Mr* Vest has had the conference report gone over to find out if there is any part of the bill that would require amendment (for the purpose you have in mind) other than the one line on Page 5 tnat 1 referred to. Mr* Vest has just called me to say that the amendment of that one line would, in his opinion, be sufficient• He suggests, however, that instead of having the amended line 20 read "loans or grants for housing", it read "housing, including loans or grants therefor". Tnis would remove any question as to whether the wora f!grants" would include direct housing operations by the Government.
