V November 10, 1954 Internal. Memorandum Conversation -with Mr. Sam Carpenter« Secretary of the Federal Reserve Board at Washington Mr. Carpenter made several suggestions. He said that Margaret Lanning had been secretary for Marriner Eccles when Mr. Eccles was head of the Board. In talking about a possible memorandum on gold, or a monograph, or whatever the Committee decides, Mr. Carpenter suggested that Mr. Marget of the Board or Walter Gardner at the Monetary Fund might be possible authors of such a memorandum. He also said that if I went to Salt Lake, it would be wise to let Mr. Eccles know ahead of time, as he was so interested in this project and had so much time on his hands that he might come to Salt Lake for several days to go through his papers with me. Mr. Carpenter would like to keep the Idolph Miller Papers intact until we finish the present project. He proposes to divide them into five groups, as I suggested in a memorandum to him, but he does not want to disperse them until we finish this project. Mr. Carpenter said that the various minutes of the Board of Governors, the Presidents Conference, the Chairmen1s Conference, the Governors Conference, the Open Market Committee were intact and were in Washington* He repeated that specific references will be given us as to where they are, in what shape, and what safeguards must be used in regard to them.
