Box 209 Hyattsviile, Md. Un ite d Stat es N ew s Publishin g Corp . December 3> 1948 Honorable Marriner S. Eccles Vice Chairman, Board of Governors Federal Reserve Board Washington, D. C. Dear Governor Eccles: Pursuant to our telephone conversation of yesterday, this letter is in confirmation of and to express our pleasure at your acceptance of the invitation to be the Guest Speaker at the January 25, 1949 Monthly Dinner Meeting of the Washington Control of the Controllers Institute, at the Carlton Hotel. This will be a Joint Meeting of both the Baltimore and Washington Controls, and, therefore, a larger than usual attendance may be expected. We meet at 6:15 p.m. for cocktails, and start dinner at 7 p.m. Following dinner, you will address us on Inflation, Interest Hates, or any related subject which you feel might be of interest to Controllers. It is entirely agreeable that your remarks be informal and off-the-record^.— Insofar as time limitations are concerned, we leave that up to you. Usually the address runs about a half-hour nr so; additional time is taken up with discussion; often we are able to close our meetings by 9:30p.m. If you can see your way clear to prepare and furnish us with a paper consisting of a page or two of the highlights of your address, we shall be glad to make the release available to the press on the evening of January 25th. This will still keep your address off-the-record and will provide appropriate news for the press. I will communicate with you again shortly after the first of the year, with the hope that we may be able to get together for luncheon sometime prior to the Dinner Meeting. Thanks again for your acceptance of our invitation. Very sincerely yours FKL'hiK CiUI HiV/iTJS Treasurer and Program Director December 20, 1948. Mr. Peter «uy •“•vans, Treasurer and Program director, district of Columbia Control of the Controllers Institute of America, 3566 Internal Revenue Gilding, Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. Evans: Before leaving for Utah for the holidays Mr. Eccles asked me to confirm his telephone conversation accepting your very kind invitation to speak at your monthly meeting at the- Carlton Hotel in the evening of January k 5. As he would wish to have his remarks en tirely informal 'and off the record he would rather not undertake to prepare any release to the press. Sincerely youi?sy (signed) lliiott Ahurston Elliott Thurston, Assistant to the Board. ET:mnm
