HST- Jd THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON July 14, 1947 My dear Mrs. Roosevelt: I appreciated your note of July sixth enclosing an excerpt from a letter which had come to you in regard to the Committee to look into the economic situation of the United States. I have asked the staff to look into the situation and see what can be done about it. This Congress seems to be doing everything possible to hamstring the country and prevent it from meeting its obligations. There was an excellent editorial in the Washington Post this morning on this situation, which I am enclosing. 1 Sincerély yours) Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt Hyde Park Dutchess County New York
