Dear Mrs. Keddi
I have read your letter of September 15 to the
President with care and sympathy*
I am sending your letter to the Department of
Labor in the hope that the United States ^Snployment service
can find something for your husband.
The rresident has been very much concerned about

unesjployment. He has ordered Government agencies to do all

they can under existing laws and has recommended new lavs to
the Congress which will improve economic conditions*
Tou ask why the Government does not do something
for citizens of the United States instead of giving Tioney to
siirope. I think you should realise that all the dollars given
for foreign aid are spent for goods made in the United States,
this provides employment for .afterican workers which would not
e^ist otherwise.
Indications are that business conditions are
improving generally and employment Is increasing. I hope that
your husband will soon find reemployment.
Sincerely,
(Signed)
