INTRODUCTION and CONTENTS
Immediately upon passage of the National Industrial Recovery Act (June 16, 1933), President Franklin Roosevelt issued Executive Order 6173, establishing organizational structures to implement the new legislation. The Executive Order appointed a Special Industrial Recovery Board to put policies into action that were intended to foster fair competition and provide a public works program.
Members of the new board included:
- Daniel C. Roper, Secretary of Commerce (Chair)
- Homer S. Cummings, the Attorney General
- Harold L. Ickes, Secretary of the Interior
- Henry A. Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture
- Frances Perkins, Secretary of Labor
- Lewis Douglas, Director of the Budget
- Hugh S. Johnson, Administrator of the Industrial Control Act
- Charles H. March, Chair of the Federal Trade Commission.
The Special Industrial Recovery Board met weekly from June until December 1933. After each weekly meeting, minutes were typed and distributed to Board members. On December 18, 1933, the functions and duties of the Special Industrial Recovery Board were absorbed by a new National Emergency Council created by Executive Order 6513.
