13 Jun 1937: Congress! There is always something happening in Comgress. At least we still have a majority in both chambers. 17 Jun 1937: I'll do a Small Lobbying Effort though. 21 Jun 1937: Damn!

My current Research projects. 30 Jun 1937: Marmon-Herrington has received the Trait Improved Boogies . Now to design a new tank. This is the bare bones. I add a Close Support Gun and a Basic Radio. Next I add Additional Machineguns, Sloped Armour and Smoke Launchers. The finished M3 Stuart. I place it in production. 04 Jul 1937: Amazing! 15 Jul 1937: I select the Focus Fair Labour Standards Act . Because my Focus is on Europe I'll be constructing strong defences on Midway, Hawaii and Wake Islands. I start with Anti-Air defences. 18 Jul 1937: I like it. It may deter Hitler and Mussolini.

05 May 1937: The Focus War Propaganda  has been completed.... ....and I select Focus on Europe  next. I noticed that Omaha Class Light Cruisers can be refitted to the Improved Brooklyn Class Cruisers. I select the USS Raleigh in Destroyer Flotilla 1 first. I select the Brooklyn Naval Yard.... ...and it will require at least 160 days. In Destroyer Flotilla 2 I select the USS Detroit. In Scouting Force there is the USS Memphis. In Asiatic Fleet I locate the USS Marblehead. In Training Division I notice that the Aircraft Carriers USS Yorktown and USS Enterprise are both fully-trained so I return them to the Carrier Division, Battle Fotce. I also asssign the trained Heavy Cruisers USS Quincy and USS Vincennes to the Carrier Divisin. I assign 4 Light Cruisers to Cruiser Division 3. (I just noticed that two of them are Omaha Class.) I also assign 8 trained Destroyers to Cruiser Division 3. 07 May 1937: Got lucky! 08 May 1937: I won't be there. 01 Jun 1937: I import more Chromium from Cub
