THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY
WASHINGTON

9 June 19U5

My dear Marrinerj
Yfe could hardly have asked for a heavier
vote in favor of the Bretton Woods Agreements than
the House cast on Thursday and I know that you must
be as delighted with the result as I am.
Your suggestion concerning an Advisory
Council had a great deal to do with the Republican
support that the Agreements received. I want to
express to you my sincere thanks for the splendid
work that you and the Federal Reserve Board have
done in connection with the Bretton Woods proposals.
Sincerely yours,

O

(Signed)

Henry,

Honorable Iflarriner S. Eccles, Chairman,
Board of Directors,
Federal Reserve System,
Washington 25, D. C.
