DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE BUREAU OF FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC COMMERCE WASHINGTON august 19, 1957. Honorable Marriner S. Eccles, Chairman of the Board of Governors of The Federal Reserve System, Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. Eccles: I am enclosing the copies of the recommendations regarding a suitable housing Bill and the administration of one as I promised when we met in Mr. Steagell's office last Wednesday. Inasmuch as I was a?,:ay since last Thursday morning, I could not conveniently mail them sooner. The recommendations in the attached copies are based upon my three years1 study of European experience and some knowledge of American conditions. Should you care to know the reasons for my contentions, I will be glad to talk with you at any time convenient to you. I am at present writing a book for the Bureau on Housing in Foreign Countries, and these recommendations were drav.-n by me of my own accord. They are not official. I mention the Department of Commerce as central agency for carrying on the if.-ork because I am connected with it, although it could very well be such central agency. Trusting the enclosed will be of some interest to you, and with most high esteem, Very cordially yours, Stella K. Margold. J august *-3j 1937. Miss btella K.
