Dear Henry:
I am sending yon herewith a copy of ay
letter to Senator Byrd which fas released to the
press last Sunday afternoon for publication in
yesterday morning1e papers.
Before deciding on this release I submitted it to Mr, Early for clearance. Later on
he advi&ed me that the President had coajaended
the letter and had suggested that it be broadcast
and released to the press simultaneously. However,
no desirable radio tiae was available, and therefore the press release want through as scheduled.
As you were out of tovn when this release mas decided upon, I thought you would be
interested in the above.
Yours cordially,

M. &. Ecclee
Chairman
