TITLE IV
Sec. 401. The sixth paragraph of section 18 of the Federal
Reserve Act is amended to read as follows:
"Upon the deposit with the Treasurer of the United States (a)
of any direct obligations of the United States or (b) of any notes,
drafts, bills of exchange, or bankers' acceptances acquired under
the provisions of this act, any Federal Reserve bank making such
deposit in the manner prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury
shall be entitled to receive from the Comptroller of the Currency
circulating notes in blank, duly registered and countersigned..
Under the FEDERAL RESERVE ACT:
the face value of the direct obligations of
the United States so deposited as security; and, when issued
against the security of notes, drafts, bills of exchange, and bankers'
acceptances acquired under the provisions of this act, the amount
thereof shall be equal to not more than 90 percent of the est-
mated value of such notes, drafts, bills of exchange, and bankers'
acceptances so deposited as security. Such notes shall be the obli-
gations of the Federal Reserve bank procuring the same, shall be
in form prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury, shall be re-
ceivable at par in all parts of the United States for the same
purposes as are national-bank notes, and shall be redeemable in
lawful money of the United States on presentation at the United
States Treasury or at the bank of issue.
Such circulating notes shall be sub-
ject to the same tax as is provided by law for the circulating
notes of national banks secured by 2 percent bonds of the United
States. No such circulating notes shall be issued under this para-
graph after the President has declared by proclamation that the
emergency recognized by the President by proclamation of March
6, 1933, has terminated
as you can see, without Congress by delegating and for actsthe confirming the presidential There would be no provision for the acts continual binding nature.
If one were to review page 78 iand the paragraph referring to the amendment to the Federal Reserve act they would discover that the Goverment would have to give back all of the GOLD, and that they cannot do!!!
"...under the provisions of this Act, the amount thereof shall be equal to not more than 90 per cent of the estimated value of such notes, drafts, bills-of exchange and bankers’ acceptances so deposited as security. Such notes shall be the obligations of the Federal reserve bank procuring the same, shall be in form prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury, shall be receivable at par in all parts of the United States for the same purposes as are national bank notes, and shall be redeemable in lawful money of the United States on presentation at the United States Treasury or at the bank of issue..."
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Congress hereby declares that the present economic depression has created a serious emergency, due to widespread unemployment and increasing inadequacy of State and local relief funds, resulting in the existing or threatened deprivation of a considerable number of families and individuals of the necessities of life, and making it imperative that the Federal Government cooperate more effectively with the several States and Territories and the District of Columbia in furnishing relief to their needy and distressed people.
Sec. 4. (a) Out of the funds of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation made available by this Act, the Administrator is authorized to make grants to the several States to aid in meeting the costs of furnishing relief and work relief and in relieving the hardship and suffering caused by unemployment in the form of money, service, materials, and/or commodities to provide the necessities of life to persons in need as a result of the present emergency, and/or to their dependents, whether resident, transient, or homeless.
Senate Report 93-549
Senate Report 93-549
Senate Report 93-549 was a document issued by the "Special Committee on the Termination of the National Emergency" of the 93rd Congress (Hence the "93" in the name). Its purpose was to discuss and address the 40 year long state of emergency that had been in effect in the United States since 1933. During the continued state of emergency, Congress voted to transfer powers from Congress to the President. The debate to end long-running states of National Emergency was ended in 1976 with the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601-1651), which limits any such declared emergencies to two years.
