June 16, 1946 Dear Mr. President: I have just been sent a copy of the report of the Survey Committee on Displaced Persons sponsored by the American Council of Voluntary Agencies for Foreign Service, Inc. The chair man of the Council is Mr. Joseph P. Chamberlain, whom you will know by repitation, as well as you will probably know Mr. Earl G. Harrison, chairman of the Committee on Dis- placed Persons. It is too long a report for you to be bothered to read it. I had it briefed, hovever, and I think you might be interested in just glancing over the notes which were nade for me and so I send them to you. It seens to ne that our Refugee Com- mittee under the United Nations is going to advocate souething very similar, but whether they do or not, it is perfectly obvious that we are going to have to have a combination or strengthening of sone groups to finish up this job on displaced persons and the sooner it is done, the bettor the whole situation will be in Europe and for that matter in the Far East.
