COMMITTEE ON BANKING AND CURRENCY

January 24, 1944

Honorable M. S. Eccles
Chairman
Board of Governors
Federal Reserve System
Washington, D. C.
Dear Marriner:
This will acknowledge your letter of January 21st.
Your renomination by the President for the high position you
hold was very pleasing to me and I am sure results from the
very splendid service you have given to the government. I
considered it an honor to make the report of the Banking and
Currency Committee to the Senate recommending your confirmation,
Since you first came to Washington, I have genuinely
admired what you have done and it has always been a source of
pleasure to me that a citizen and resident of my state was capable of holding the high position which you have held for the
last several years. I look back upon my associations with you,
although they have been quite limited, with a great deal of
satisfaction.
I will conclude by wishing you every success during
your future tenure as Chairman of the Board of Governors.
With kind personal regards, I am
Sincere

ABE MUftDOCK
AM/b




January 21, 1944.

Dear Abe:
The Congressional iiecord of yesterday containing your more than generous report of s$r nomination
just came to ®y desk, thanks to our staff, and I wanted
to send you this note in appreciation of your Kind mortis,
of us e r e to carry the search for truth
to such lengths A® to tone down eulogies of ourselves.
So 1*11 skip eeaMBfc on your gratifying references to
me personally and say merely that the Federal Reserve
System isnft so very important in the present scheme
of things-—certainly it hasn't the authority to assure
even though in the public ~dnd it seems to have great
responsibility for economic welfare ftt home, if not
abroad.
With best regards,

M. S. Eccles,
Chairman.
Honorable Abe Murdock,
United States Senate,
