Q Do you have in minddputting 200,000 men on the Federal
payroll a year? It would mean a tremendous amount of
money.
THE PRESIDENT: You will have to wait until you see the bill.
Q Is it planned to have camps and housing people and the
Government to feed them and house them for a dollar
a day or something like that?
THE PRESIDENT: I can't go into that.
Q Even at a dollar a day for a year that is enormous. I
haven't figured it, but I can see it will run into
many millions of dollars. I figured where you would
need a half a billion or one billion and spend it on
this one item.
THE PRESIDENT: Just for background, speaking on that by
way of explanation, these people would be people who are
today on the dole. They are performing no useful work.
Those fire the only people we would take -- people
performing absolutely no work at all and just being
barely supported by communities and states.
Q Then you could have the states share in the burden of the
expenditures, couldn't you?
THE PRESIDENT: It is as short as it is long. What is the
difference between the Government doing that directly
