CONFIDENTIAL
Press Conference #67
Executive Offices of the White House
November 8, 1933, 10.55 A.M.
MR. DONALDSON: All in, Mr. President.
THE PRESIDENT: Friday, I told you Just the beginnings of a
story about this plan to take people off the relief rolls
and give them regular employment. The plan has now been
put through. I will read the high spots in the plan and
I think Steve (Mr. Early) might just as well have it
mimeographed and give it to you afterwards. (Reading)
Four million men now out of employment will be put to
work under a plan announced by the President. Two mil-
lion will become self-sustaining employees on all kinds
of Federal, State and local public work projects on No-
vember 16. These two million people will be taken com-
pletely off the relief rolls. In other words, they will
be paid wages, instead of work relief. An additional
two million we are going to try to put back to work as
soon thereafter as possible. In other words, we hope by
the 15th of December.
The plan will be administered by a department or
division -- I would not call it that, it really is a new
administration of Civil Works -- the Gil Works Adminis-
Relations
