Our Nation's steel, auto and housing industries and our agricul-
tural sector remain mired in a depression; 
Given the current underutilization of both labor and capital, 
lower interest rates will not rekindle inflation;

production and sustained economic growth; therefore, be it 
Declared that it is the Sense of the Congress that: In recent months, 
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve and the Federal Open 
Market Committee have made a significant contribution to the lower 
interest rates without rekindling inflation, and that, with due regard 
for controlling inflation so as not to have an opposite effect of driving 
interest rates upward, they should continue to take such actions as are 
necessary to achieve and maintain a level of interest rates low enough 
to generate significant economic growth and thereby reduce the 
current intolerable level of unemployment.
