75/26/47 252-K May 23, 1947 m Dear Mr. Tippy: I regret that the President's absence from Washington prevents his reply to your recent letter in which you expressed your views concerning the program to safeguard the Government against subversive and disloyal # employees. I can assure you that the President is deeply interested in protecting all Govern- ment employees from unjustified suspicion or mistreatment, and I believe that if you read the report of his temporary Commission on Employee Loyalty, and the White House statement of May 9 outlining the manner in which the program will be conducted, you will be reassured that the civil rights of all our Federal em- ployees are properly safeguarded. 5. MATTOWN TRUMAS Very truly yours, ARCHIVES NO REGORDS SERVINE with CLARK M. CLIFFORD Special Counsel to the President Mr. Worth M. Tippy Cosmos Club x 1520 H Street, N.W. Washington, D. C. x252 luch
