EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
NATIONAL RESOURCES PLANNING BOARD
WASHINGTON. D. C.

Hbn* Marriner S» Eccles
Chairman, Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System
Washington, D* C#
tfy dear Chairman Eccles:
The National Hesources Planning Board was created by
Reorganization Plan No • 1, as a consolidation of the former
National Resources Committee and the Federal Employment
Stabilization Office, The law establishing the Federal Employment Stabilization Office requires that the Board report
from time to time with respect to business conditions and
unemployment in the "United States or any substantial portion
thereof11 •
It has occurred to us that since the twelve Banks of the
Federal Reserve System must have information and an interest
with respect to economic conditions In their particular districts, there might be the possibility of fruitful collaboration between the Banks and this Board* If you feel that there
is such a possibility, we should welcome an opportunity to
discuss the matter with you at your convenience*
Sincerely yours,

Frederic A. Delano
Chairman
