Council's tentative draft covering the third quarter*
We have an appointment with the President at twelve of clock
on Wednesday, October 1, at which time the final draft of
this memorandum will be submitted to him*
In the meantime, if there are any criticisms or
suggestions as to facts or interpretation contained in this
report which you would like to call to our attention, we shall
be most happy to consider them in the process of final revision.
As you are aware, our staff has benefited from the friendly
collaboration of the staff of the Federal Reserve Board at
all stages of our analysis, and a copy of this memorandum
is being sent also to Dr* Woodlief Thomas, who has served
