February 6, 1946

My dear Mr. President:
In accord with the conversation which
Mr. Taylor and I had with you last week, the Board
of Directors of the Export-Import Bank, today, accepted the resignation of Mr* Taylor with sincere
regret and assigned to me as Chairman of the Board
the duties which he formerly assumed. This would
appear to be consistent with the Export-Import
Bank Act of 1945, which vested the management of
the Bank in the Board of Directors and made no
statutory provision for a President.
I would like to repeat again my deep
admiration for Mr, Taylor and the splendid manner
in which he has discharged his responsibilities*
It has been a great pleasure to have been associated with him*
Yours respectfully,

Wm. McC. Martin, Jr.,
Chairman of the Board

The President
The White House
