The Seventy-Third Congress of the United States convened from March 4, 1933, to June 19, 1934. It was notable for being the first Congress to meet after the inauguration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who introduced his New Deal programs to address the economic challenges of the Great Depression. During this Congress, significant legislation was passed, including the Emergency Banking Act and the National Industrial Recovery Act. These laws aimed to stabilize the banking system and promote industrial growth, reflecting the urgent need for economic recovery during a time of widespread hardship in the country.
