Excerpt from Postwar Economic Policy and Planning, Vol. 6: Hearings Before the Special Committee on Postwar Economic Policy and Planning, House of Representatives, Seventy-Eighth Congress, Second Session and Seventy-Ninety Congress, First Session H. Res. 408 and H. Res. 60 I do not say that public works is the only solution of our postwar economic problem. It is not. It is one of the very important factors in getting things going. It cannot be kept up indefinitely. Every body knows that. But, it plays an important part during the first few years. I would say that we should have at least a 5 - year program. There are other parts of this postwar rehabilitation to which Congress will have to give painstaking attention, consideration, and action.
