Hy dear President:
My attention has been called to
the fact that Mr. William H. Pouch, President of
the Concrete Steel Company, Two Park Avenue, New
York City, is being considered as a new member of
the Federal Reserve Board at Washington.
The experience of Mr. Pouch in
the industrial field, particularly so with relation
to credit, qualifies him admirably for a position
of this nature*
I am sure that your interest in
Mr. Pouch will be beneficial to all concerned.

Dear Franklin:
Several of my friends - some of them with us
on tne New Deal - have come asking that I turn in to
you tne name of Mr. William H. Pougn of Greenwicn,
Connecticut as a possiole appointee on tne reorganized
Federal Reserve Board. I believe tnere are to be
seven memoers and taey seem to feel that you would
probably appoint one or two Republicans and that it
would be good business to have one of tnem a man most
of whose business experience nas ^een in tne commercial
credit field.
I know Mr. Poucn, a man of wealtn and wno has
been president of the National Association of Credit
Men and I am told tnat they recommend his appointment.
I understand tnat his endorsement has already been sent
to Mr. Mclntyre and I am sending you a copy of his qualifications.
I spoke up in Greenwich a few evenings ago. It
is violently Republican and it is possible that tne
appointment of a Republican from tnere, especially a
man of Mr. Pough 1 s attainments would be a wise thing.
Anyhow, please read his qualifications and have a little
word sent me acknowledging my letter.
