159 13 -8- THE PRESIDENT: Oh, yes and, by the way, entirely off the record, do not write stories about five or six billion dollars of public works. That is wild. In other words, the public works program will be as much as we can use- fully use between now and next spring. There is no use attempting to go ahead with a public works program, with a project which will require all kinds of engineering in the first instance and with the actual employment unable to start for a year. What we want is the type of public works that will put people to work immediately - get them to work as soon as possible. Q Is that off the record? THE PRESIDENT: I think you can use that. Q That won't be so much, then. THE PRESIDENT: It won't be five or six billion dollars. I have no idea, but it will not be anything like that. Q It won't be much more than a billion? THE PRESIDENT: We are looking over the field and seeing how many public works there are that are practical, useful, self-sustaining as far as possible and can be started quickly. There is a limit to that. Q Where did you get your cold?
