In my reply of the same day, I stated that after careful consideration of your request I had decided to remain Y/ith the Board in the capacity which you suggested* Two and one-half months have elapsed since that time. The formal order designating the Chairman of the Board has been issued, but none designating a Vice Chairman. In view of the circumstances, I shall continue to serve as a member of the Board of Governors, but I wish to withdraw my name in case you are still considering designating me as Vice Chairman. Respectfully yours The President The Kttiite House
