March 10, 1948 Memorandum for: Secretary of the Treasury From: The President Ambassador Pawley came in to see me just before he left for Brazil and informed me that the request of Brazil for an extension of their stabilization loan, which is secured by gold, had not been complied with - that Brazil had made at least half a dozen requests of us for certain accommodations and that they had not been able to get any of them consummated. I wonder if this loan could not be extended since there are no fund expenditures involved, ARCHIVES 'NATIONAL AND H.S.T. RECORDS SERVICE" Ed
