AS P.P.F. 9-C C 0 P Y OFFICE OF ALIEN PROPERTY CUSTODIAN WASHINGTON January 26, 1943 Honorable Samuel I. Rosenman pp.t C Executive Office The White House 64 Washington, D. C. Dear sam: I am sending with this letter the special presentation copy, designed for the President, of X808 "Patents at Work", a statement of the policies which will govern the administration of some 50,000 patents. and patent applications vested in the Alien Property Custodian. I send this directly to you because of your long and close association with the President's papers and his library at Hyde Park. The patent policy described in this booklet presents a sharp contrast to that adopted by the various Alien Property Custodians of the last war. Its real significance will probably not be fully understood or appreciated until after this war is over. To a large extent the patent policy of this office is the Presi- dent's own program, and for this reason I thought it 7/10/13 desirable to place this statement in the President's library where it might be preserved for future gene- rations. I should greatly appreciate it if you per- sonally would see that the President's own copy of "Patents at Work" is safely lodged in the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library at Hyde Park. Sincerely yours, (Signed) Leo T. Crowley X#77 xpet Alien Property Custodian 9-B Booklet and original letter sent to Franklin D.
