Description
This page, from American Memory at the Library of Congress, focuses on significant events in American history and culture associated with October 23. On this day in 1941, the Senate passed the $5.98 billion supplemental Lend-Lease bill, bringing the United States one step closer to direct involvement in World War II. This page describes how President Roosevelt used the Act to direct material aid such as ammunition, airplanes, and food to the war effort in Europe without violating the America's official position of neutrality.
