http://www.ourdocuments.gov/doc.php?doc=71
Rating: 2, High!
Description: In the 1940 Presidential election campaign, Roosevelt promised to keep America out of the war. Nevertheless, FDR wanted to support Britain and believed the United States should serve as a "great arsenal of democracy." Churchill pleaded, "Give us the tools and we'll finish the job." In January 1941, FDR proposed to "lend-lease or otherwise dispose of arms" and other supplies needed by any country whose security was vital to the defense of the United States. Following two months of debate, Congress passed the Lend-Lease Act, meeting Great Britain's deep need for supplies and allowing the United States to prepare for war while remaining officially neutral.
