In order to cluity our thinking on the them of our hesring
before the 8mm of the Mast. we hue reduced to writing acne of

sent to you solely as infomtion in resort! to the spprosch which we
have decided would be sppropriste to use in our presentation on
love-her 9, sad for such use so you my core to lake of it.

Briefly, our teens my be stated on requesting Node in the
mount recounended to tne Congress by the Bureau of the Budzet in Fiscal
Your 195'] for s project which has the recommendation of the Chief of
Engineers; is authorised by Congress for its defense benefits; and was
recommended 03 toe Congress for prompt construction at the temination
of world Her II.

Only a. port or the recomcndxtion of the Chief of Engineers has
thus for been accomplished. Toot part is contained in the reconstitution
that "the coral should be authorised st this time (191?) so a war censure
and steps taken toward the preparation or construction plans with s View
to undertone construction st the esrlisst dots on which work can be
stsrted without interrerring with other construction directly connected
with the war effort." (As you km, the plans have been preysred at s
cost or $1,05,0-)

Further, the present urgency for prompt construction is because
our country has gone through snother cycle where we are now min on the
brink of war sod s11 predects which will be required, should hostilities
begin, must be ready now.
