REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

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

compliance with the provisions of the National Industrial Recovery 

Act, for an Amendment to the Code of ~air Competition for the 

Mica Industry, submitted by the Code Authority for the said 

Industry. 

The existing provision of Article VI, Section G of the Code for 

the said Industry, is entirely inadequate in view of Executive Order 

6678 and Administrative Order X-36, and it is therefore evident that 

the proposed amendment to Article VI of said Code, the provisions 

of which follow closely the text of the above mentioned Orders, 

will overcome the exi ting inadequate provisions. 

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 

basis of all the proceedings in this matter : 

I find 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 remoYal 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 cooperatrve 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 

increasinO' the "onsumption 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 pi'ovision of said Title of said Act, including without limitation 

sub-section (a) of Section 3, sub-section (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. 

( cl) 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, therefore, I have approved this amendment. 

Respectively, 

JULY 31, 1934.

Administrato1'.

proper for the foregoing purposes and to meet such obligations

which shall be held in tn1st for the purposes of the Code.

to such notice and opportunity to be heard as he may deem neces- sary~ (a) an itemized budget of the estimated expenses for the 

foregoing purposes, and (b) an equitable basis upon which tha 

funds necessary to support such budget shall be contributed by 

members of the industry. 

(3) After such budget and basis of contribution have been

equitable contribution to the expenses of the maintenance of the Code
