UNITED STATES SENATE

March 29, 1948.

Hon. M. S. Eccles,
Board of Governors,
Federal Reserve System,
Washington 25,
C#
Dear Mr* Eccles:
I have received your letter of March 29, 1948, enclosing
certain material from the files of the Board, which were sent to me
in response to my letter of March 24*
I note that you have construed my letter of March 24 as
requesting information only concerning matters of current concern
with regard to Transamerica Corp* or any of its affiliated institutions*
However, what I wish to obtain to bring before the committee is any
other relevant material from the files of the Board from January 1, 1942
to date, bearing upon questions or problems between the Board of
Governors or any other agency of the Government, and Transamerica
Corp. or any of i t s affiliated institutions—this to include every bit
of data that is in your files concerning these various elements or
groups.
The committee, as you know, is at the present time considering matters of farreaching importance to the country in connection
with the confirmation of Mr. Thomas McCabe as Chairman of the Federal
Reserve Board. This eridence is germane to some phases of the inquiry
and I request its transmission to the committee at the earliest
possible moment.




Time is of the essence.
Sincerely yours,

Charles W. Tobey<
