Dear Tom:
The Chairman asked me to send you
the enclosed copy of the talk: he gave before
the National Industrial Conference Board in New
York last week. As some very garbled versions
of it subsequently appeared in the press, he de­
cided to give out the full text#
He thought you might be interested in
looking it over#

Sincerely yours,

Dear Dave:
The Chairman told me to be sure to
send you the enclosed address wiiich he gave last
•*©«& is New York, inaiaauch as you are one of that
rare group of people who are not only interested
in these subjects, but understand tbesu This was
not first intended for publication, but some badly
twisted accounts appeared in the press so that the
Chairman felt he had better give out the full text
of what he actually said.
I have been hoping for some time that
I would have an opportunity of seeing you. I have
been thinking about you a great deal and would like
to talk with you about various matters of the future
in which we are both interested.

Dear Wayne:
The Chairman asked me to be sure to
send you the enclosed copy of his talk before
the National Industrial Conference Board because
he felt you might be interested in looking it
over, if you are not too swamped.
This was supposed to be an off the
record meeting, but a very garbled version of
this talk subsequently appeared in the Herald
Tribune and was widely copied. Accordingly, it
seemed best to give out the text of what ac­
tually was said.

Sincerely yours,

Elliott Thurston,
Special Assistant
to the Chairman.

Honorable Wayne C. Taylor,
Under Secretary of Commerce,
