CONFIDENTIAL
Press Conference #82
Executive Offices of the White House
December 29, 1933, 4.15 P.M.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, what is the news?
Q That is what we would like to know.
THE PRESIDENT: I think everything is all quiet. No message
written yet, no budget message. We are still scribbling
lots of figures and essays and so forth all over sheets
of paper. I am living with sheets ofpaper.
Q What seems to be the trouble on that, Mr. President?
(Laughter)
THE PRESIDENT: What?
Q Any trouble on this budget?
THE PRESIDENT: You can figure it out any way at all. You can
make it come out ten billions plus or minus, depending on
the way you sharpen your pencil. (Laughter) That is my
present frame of mind.
Q Can you tell us anything about the conference this after-
noon with General Johnson, Senator Nye and Senator Borah?
THE PRESIDENT: Oh, I think so. It was merely a preliminary
conference to discuss some of the new problems which have
been raised through the actual operation of NRA. We have
had two worries, not only Senator Borah and Senator Nye,
