MEMORANDUM OF TELEPHONE CONVERSATION
Participants:
Congressman Brent Spence
of Kentucky
Mr. Acheson
Congressman Spence telephoned the Secretary this
morning to say that he had received the letter from the
Secretary (on the control of fats and oils), but not until
after Congress had concluded its work. However, the
Congressman had put it in the Record along with the
amendment the Congressman introduced to meet the
objections which the Secretary makes. Mr. Spence said
that the amendment was defeated and the bill, with its
objectionable features, adopted. The Congressman said
he hoped something could be done in this respect
and that is the reason he had it put in the Record in order
to give an opportunity to consider it. Mr. Spence said
that as he understood it, it might affect the exportation of
tobacco, cotton and other things, and might even interfere
with our foreign trade agreements. The Secretary said that
this was so.
Congressman Spence said that if he could help in any
way, he would be glad to do it. The Secretary thanked the
Congressman and said that the Department would re-study
the whole matter and take it up with the Congressman again.
