参议院通过附加贷款租赁法案 (Supplemental
Lend-Lease Bill)
1941年10月23日
贷款租赁法案无形上赋予罗斯福总统有绝对的权力能够任意提供援救物资、军备武器、飞机、坦克、卡车，与食物等到欧洲战场上，但美国并不用实际介入战争。然而，这个法案也让美国更接近介入战争的边缘。不久之后，西元1941年12月，美国在夏威夷珍珠港的海军基地遭到日军的攻击，这个事件也使美国直接投入第二次世界大战。国会通过，罗斯福总统随即签署对日宣战。
The Lend-Lease Act gave Roosevelt virtually unlimited authority to direct material aid such as ammunition, tanks, airplanes, trucks, and food to the war effort in Europe without the U.S. actually entering the war. Nonetheless, it brought the United States one step closer to direct involvement in World War II. Soon after, in December 1941, the Japanese attacked the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. This forced America's direct involvement in World War II. Congress passed and Roosevelt signed the Declaration of War against Japan.
