FDR did several things to calm the nation's fears during the Depression. First, he did not attend the inauguration balls but went right to work as the newly elected President. He declared that he was going to present legislation to Congress and he admitted that if something didn't work, he would try something else. He gathered about him some of the best economic minds of the time and they helped come up with legislation to ease the financial situation. They became known as "the Brain Trust." He introduced so many pieces of legislation to Congress during the first 100 days of his administration, that future presidents would have their first 100 days judged according to what FDR had done. He held "Fireside Chats" on the radio. He told the American people what the government was doing and his calm words seemed to help lessen the fear that Americans were facing. The fact that he did things, whether they worked or not, seemed to be calming to the public.
