History: NRA established to administer provisions of Title I of the National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA) of 1933. Initially, NRA promoted rehabilitation of industry and trade in the United States, expansion of employment, and improvement of labor conditions, through special codes of fair competition drafted under its supervision to govern industries and trades, and through the President's reemployment agreement, a general code offered for voluntary acceptance pending approval of specific codes. On May 27, 1935, the U.S. Supreme Court in the Schechter case declared the mandatory codes section of NIRA unconstitutional. Remainder of Title I extended until April 1, 1936, by joint resolution (49 Stat. 375), June 14, 1935. NRA reorganized by EO 7075, June 15, 1935, to facilitate its new role as promoter of industrial cooperation and to enable it to produce a series of economic studies. Abolished at the end of 1935. Records of the NRA.
