REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Srn: An application has been duly made pursuant to and in full 

compliance with the provisions of Title I of the National Industrial 

Recovery Act, for an amendment to the Code of Fair Competition 

for the Concrete Masonry Industry, submitted by the Code Authority 

for the Concrete Masonry Industry. 

The purpose and effect of the amendment are to authorize the 

Code Authority to submit a budget and method of assessment upon 

which funds shall be contributed by members of the Industry. 

FINDINGS 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said amendment to said Code having found as herein set forth and on the 

ba 03is of all the proceedings in this matter; 

I find that: 

(a) The amendment to said Code and the Code as amended a.re 

well designed to promote the policies and purposes of Title I of the 

National Industrial Recovery Act including the removal of obstructions to the free flow of interstate and foreign commerce which tend 

to diminish the amount thereof 1 and will provide for the general 

welfare by promoting the organization of industry for the purpose 

of cooperative action of labor and management under adequate 

governmental sanction and supervision, by eliminating unfair competitive practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization of 

the present productive capacity of industries, by avoiding undue restriction of production ( except as 1nay be temporarily required), 

by incre.a.sing the consumption of industrial and agricultural products through increasing purchasing power, by labor, and by otherwise 

rehabilitating industry. 

(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the pertinent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limitation Subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7 and 

Subsection (b) of Sec.ti on 10 thereof. 

( c) The Amendment and the Code as amended are not designed 

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

( d) The Amendment and the Code as amended are not designed 

to and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not 

operate to discriminate against them. 

( e) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process have 

not been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of 

said Amendment. 

For these reasons, therefore, I have approved this Amendment. 

Respectfully, 

AUGUST 13, 1934.
