First Hundred Days of Presidency-- Part 2

Continuing with FDR. His first 100 days were no doubt the busiest of any president.

Still working with the agencies he and Congress created.

FERA-- Federal Emergency relief Administration-- Provided states with funding to help the needy.

NRA-- National Recovery Administration-- Enforced fair business practices, including establishing a minimum wage, maximum hours and worker right to join unions.

PWA-- Public Works Administration-- Built dams, schools, bridges, and other projects.

TVA-- Tennessee Valley Authority-- built dams to combat flooding and provide electricity to the Tennessee River Valley.

Also, Fireside Chats starting March 12th. FDR delivers the first of many regular radio messages on his plans to address the country's problems.

Now, this was one busy president in those hundred days. And, that is not to mention the WPA and Social Security which came later. I imagine the public was pretty-well lettered to death with all those administrations and such: AAA, CCC, FERA, NRA, PWA, and TVA.

Quite the President. --Cooter
