Good morning this fireside chat is to inform you America about (fera) the federal emergency relief administration act. I will tell you everything you need to know about this act. On may, 22, 1933 congress and I will pass the (fera) act is to help everyone get jobs and find relief. All needy persons and their dependents should receive relief to prevent physical suffering and to maintain a minimum standard of living. The (fera) act will help us to get out of this great depression because, 1rst) I will help get people out of ruts 2nd) I will provide work for employable people; 3rd) diversification of relief programs. The purpose of the (fera) act is to work together with state government, providing information on the amounts necessary to meet relief needs and the amounts available from the public and private sources with in the state to contribute toward those relief needs. harry hopkins an architect of this program has 20 years of experience in social work and welfare administration. Initially $500 million is made available for the (fera) to distribute to the states as grants rather than loans. Congress will divide the 500 million into two equal parts, the first was for the state that could spend one of federal money for every 3$ that the state spends for the unemployment relief of the last 3 months. The second portion of $250 million will be given to the administrator to allocate on a discretionary basis, and all future funding will be distributed in this manner. This is a recognition that the impact of the Depression is regionally variable, as is the ability of individual states to cope with the problems posed by it. this should help us to get out of the graet depression.
