Washington 2£, D. G.
Dear Governor Eccles:
I am delighted to learn in your letter of March 7 that you ■will
be able to participate in the program of the Midwest Economics
Association as the speaker at our opening meeting on the evening of
April 19 in Milwaukee.
The meeting is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. at the Hotel Pfister and
all our meetings are informal. Your address will be the only one of
the evening, and I would say that on the average that most of our
speakers at such meetings speak for approximately forty-five minutes.
I would very much appreciate an expression of your attitude toward
informal discussion from the floor following your remarks. We will be
guided solely by your wishes in this matter.
Final copy for the entire program, circulated in advance of our
meeting, will probably be completed by the first week in April, and
we would like veiy much to include a title for your address in our
printed program.
Hotel reservations are being made for you for the evening of
April 19 at the Hotel Pfister.
On behalf of the entire membership of the Association, I want to
express my appreciation of your cooperation. We shall look forward
to meeting and hearing you.

Sincerely yours,

Paul R. Olson
