February 8, 1946 Dear Senator: I appreciated very auch your note of February fifth in regard to the addi- tional office space for The White House. Apparently the Committee doesn't believe the President ought to have sufficient working space. Under the circuastances I shall just have to nove the elerks into The White House, as happened in the days of MeKinley and the Presidents previous to that time. I had hoped to have The White House for a residence, which I think it was intended in the first place, but if I have to make en office building out of the first floor, I'll proceed to do it. Sincerely yours, ARCHIVES AND "NATIONAL RECORDS SERVICE is country Honorable Kenneth McKellar United States Senate Washington, D. C.
