Line 4:

Widely distributed among academic economists, the draft proposal for A Program for Monetary Reform (1939) was never published and did not lead to legislation. Some copies of the program found their way into university and college libraries or private collections.

Joe Bongiovanni, cofounder of [[The Kettle Pond Institute for Debt-Free Money]] recalled that a copy of the draft proposal had been maintained by his father, [[Joseph T. Bongiovanni]] (1910–2001), a monetary reform advocate who had testified several times before the [[United States Congress Joint Economic Committee]] on his own proposal for a [[Socio-Economic National Growth Act (SENGA)]] premised upon [[sound money]] and [[economic democracy]].{{citation Sadly,needed|date=November Bongiovanni's was lost.2012}}

Ronnie J. Phillips, then a Professor of Economics at [[Colorado State University]], referenced the draft proposal in his book, ''The Chicago Plan & New Deal Banking Reform'' (1995). Phillips is currently a Senior Fellow at the [[Indiana State University#Colleges and school|Networks Financial Institute]] at Indiana State University. <!-- http://isunetworks.org/thoughtleadership/fellows/Pages/SeniorFellows.aspx also http://web.me.com/rphillip/RJPHomepage/Ronnie_J._Phillips.html -->.
