Eccles, Board of Governors, Federal Reserve System, Washington, D. C. Dear Marriner: I appreciate very greatly your willingness to talk to the membership of the Independent Petroleum Association of America at their dinner meeting on Monday evening, October 3rd. I understand this will be an off-the-record discussion of current economic and currency problems. Since you advise me you are leaving here on the American Airlines at one o'clock Monday and expect to arrive in Dallas about 5:30, we will arrange to meet that plane and furnish transportation on into Fort Worth so that you will not need to arrange here f or transportation from Dallas to Fort Worth. We will arrange a room for you at the Texas Hotel at Fort Worth While I reeognize this to be an off-the-record meeting, I am sure experience has made you conscious of the desire of many of the press to have something they may use. I am wondering if this could not be arranged by a short press conference following the dinner meeting. If we can be of any further service to you, we would ap preciate having you call on us. Very truly yours, Rusm xB. Brown
