DIXON January 19, 1948. HARRY ARCHIVES-AND "NATIONAL SERVICE" U.S. GOVERNM Dear Miss Dixon: I am writing in reply to your letter, addressed to the President's Committee on Civil Rights, dated December 20, 1947. The Office of Education was asked for a statement of the facts in your case and their report is at hand. From this report it appears that the Office of Education is eager and willing to promote you to a stenographic position at a higher level, as soon as you are able to meet the test required by the Civil Service Commission. I was much interested in learning of your experience in applying for jobs related to your background in Education. You were, of course, looking for work at a time when the Executive branch was being sharply reduced in force. I am returning the attachments to your letter in accordance with your request. Sincerely yours, PHILLEO NASH Assistant to David K. Niles Miss Florence M. Dixon, 4500 Washington Place N. E., Washington 19, D. C.
