DEPARTMENT OF STATE
"WASEINGTON
February 8, 1945

My dear Mr. Yest:
Thank you very much for sending the list
of statutes which provide for committees or
agencies composed of heads of executive agencies,
and also for sending a memorandum and suggested
section providing for the creation of a Policy
Council in the Bretton Woods statute*
As you know, it is the position of the State
Department that the bill as presented to Congress
should not include provision for a Council, but
if Congress wishes to provide for one, I understand we would be agreeable to a proposal along
the general lines suggested by you.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) John H. Ferguson

Mr. George B. Yest,
Assistant General Attorney,
Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System,
Washington, D. C.
