REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Srn: The Temporary Code Authority for the Outdoor Advertising 

Trade submitted on July 26, 1934 a request for the amendment of 

their Code to incorporate therein the provisions covering the mandatory collection of expenses for the maintenance of the Code 

Authority. 

Such an amendment involves the deletion of Article VI, Section 

15, by substituting in lieu thereof the standard provisions governing the said mandatory assessments. 

On September 22, 1934, Notice of Opportunity to file criticisms, 

objections, or suggestions concerning said amendment was issued. 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to the National Industrial Recovery Board on said amendment to said Code having 

found as herein set forth and on the basis of all the proceedings in 

this matter; 

It finds that: 

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

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, and will provide for the general 

welfare by promoting the organization of industry for the purpose 

of cooperative action among trade groups, by inducing and maintaining united 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 may be temporarily required), by increasing 

the consumption of industrial and agricultural products through increasing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving unemployment, by improving standards of 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 Section 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. 

(2) 
3 

( 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, this amendment has been approved. 

For the National Industrial Recovery Board: 

NOVEMBER 12, 1934.
