TO THE BOARD

January 1-4- 1943L

Dear Sir:
There is enclosed for your information a copy
of a letter, dated January 7, 1941, from Mr, Henry H.
Heimann, Executive Manager, National Association of
Credit Men, to which is attached a list of the Association's local offices throughout the United States.
Mr. Heimann states he has had many letters
suggesting that the local offices of the National Association of Credit Men would be pleased to hold meetings,
inviting all small business executives to attend, if
representatives of the Reserve Banks would address the
meetings and explain the Defense Program. Mr. Heimann
suggests that the Reserve Bank field representatives
contact these local offices*
I have advised Mr. Heimann that I would forward
a copy of his letter to you with the suggestion that your
field representatives cooperate fully with the local offices of the National Association of Credit Men in all
matters pertaining to National Defense.
A copy of this letter, with enclosures, has
been sent to the field representative at your head office and each of your branches, if any.
Very trul^jyours,

Hon. Ernest Q. Draper
Federal Reserve Board
Washington, D. C.
Dear Ernest$
By bulletin I advised our local offices about
the part the Federal Reserve System would take in developing interest in the defense program anong snail
business enterprises. I have had nany letters suggesting that the local offices would be pleased to hold
meetings at which they would invite all snail business
executives if your representatives would address these
nen and explain the whole program to then. I really
believe this affords you one of the best ways of getting
it before the smaller business executives.
As you know, we have 118 offices throughout
the United States and each one of these local offices
holds monthly meetings. Furthermore, our membership
generally conpnises most of the business orgainzations
in the area. I might suggest that if it were consistent
you may desire to bulletin your representatives asking
them to get in contact with our local offices# You
will find a ready response. Naturally our only purpose
is to try and be helpful in the matter and I do believe we have a medium that could be used to good advantage
and it would be a patriotic service we would be delighted
to undertake* Fbr your information, I am attaching a
list of our various offices.
Sincerely-yours,

(Signed) Henry H. Heinann
