My dear Xr* Delano:
I welcome heartily the suggestion made in your letter of May

I agree that it would be very helpful If you as Chairman of
an agency in the President's Office would oall together technical
representatives of various departments, including the Federal Reserve
System, in an effort to secure effective cooperation and thereby
facilitate a program which may be of value to the President, As you
know, in our research division we are devoting special attention to
these problems and welcome an opportunity to be helpful*
With respeot to the matter of business conditions and unemployment, referred to in your letter of June 5* *® are, of course,
continually studying economic and business conditions in the various
Federal Reserve Districts* 1 should be glad to discuss with you how
the Federal Reserve System and the national Resources Planning Board
might establish continued collaboration whereby the information which
we are continually gathering may be plaoed at your disposal*
