- This public law, enacted by the 77th Congress, provides for the acquisition and equipment of public works necessary for the defense program.

The law authorizes the Federal Works Administrator to acquire land, plan and construct public works, and make loans or grants for their maintenance. It also outlines provisions for the termination of authority once the emergency declared by the President has ceased. The law emphasizes the importance of maintaining and operating public works based on need, without discrimination based on race, creed, or color.
