TO THK CONGRESS OF THE UNITKD STATES:
I should like to report to the Congress on certain evente
that have happened in connection with the current dispute in the
steel industry since I last communicated with the Congress on that
subject.
On April 9, 1 informed the Congress that I had taken action
to provide for temporary operation of the steel mills by the Govern-
munt. At that time, I indicated the reasons that had impelled me
to take that action. I pointed out that the Congress might wish to
take action providing for a different solution of the grave problem
confronting the Nation as a result of the steal dispute. I also said
that, if the Congress did not act, I would continue to do everything
in my power to keep the steel industry operating and to bring about
FRUMAN
a settlement of the dispute.
