II. The Formal Report to the President
and Associated Documents
We are republishing here, for only the second time since 1935, the
full text of the original Report To The President of the Committee
on Economic Security as it was transmitted to the President in January
1935. (Note: the Appendix with its supplemental tables is available
as JPEG image files only.)
The basic text of the original CES report to the President was 50
printed pages, with an Appendix containing a list of Committee members
and 19 additional tables of data. It is reproduced here in its entirety,
along with the Committee's Transmittal Letter to President Roosevelt
and the President's Transmittal Letter sending the Report to the Congress.
This is a foundational historical document, the basis of the Social
Security Act of 1935 and all the programs that it entailed. |
