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) Mrs* B« G* Hedd Route #1, Box 179 .Everett, Washington Mag; lire;b d ;9/20/49 a . s tm ^ M
