December 27, 1938 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 Honorable Henry Morgenthau, Jr, Secretary of the Treasury Washington, D. G. enclosure LC/fgr
