The 73rd United States Congress was a meeting of the legislative branch of the United States federal government, composed of the
United States Senate and the
United States House of Representatives. It met in
Washington, D.C. from March 4, 1933, to January 3, 1935, during the first two years of
Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidency. Because of the newly ratified
20th Amendment, the duration of this Congress, along with the term of office of those elected to it, was shortened by days. The apportionment of seats in the
House of Representatives was based on the
Fifteenth Census of the United States in 1930.
The
Democrats greatly increased their majority in the House, and won control of the Senate for the first time since the
65th Congress in 1917. With
Franklin D. Roosevelt being sworn in as
President on March 4, 1933, this gave the Democrats an overall federal government
trifecta, also for the first time since the 65th Congress.

. The Act was drafted in large part by officials appointed by the
Hoover administration. The bill provided for the
Treasury Department to initiate
reserve requirements and a federal bailout to large failing institutions. It also removed the United States from the
Gold Standard. All
banks had to undergo a federal inspection to deem if they were stable enough to re-open. Within a week 1/3 of the banks re-opened in the United States and faith was, in large part, restored in the banking system. The act had few opponents, only taking fire from the farthest left elements of Congress who wanted to
nationalize banks altogether.
* March 10, 1933: The
Economy Act of 1933. Roosevelt, in sending this act to Congress, warned that if it did not pass, the country faced a billion dollar
deficit
A deficit is the amount by which a sum falls short of some reference amount.

. The act balanced the federal budget by cutting the salaries of government employees and cutting pensions to veterans by as much as 15 percent. It intended to reassure the deficit hawks that the new president was fiscally conservative. Although the act was heavily protested by left-leaning members of congress, it passed by an overwhelming margin.
The session also passed several other major pieces of legislation:
*March 31, 1933: The
Civilian Conservation Corps Reforestation Relief Act (ch. 17, ) established the
Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) as a means to combat
unemployment and

The Senate Munitions Committee came into existence solely for the purpose of this hearing.
