Dear Mr. Burr:
GOVERWAY
Your letter of November 14th, addressed to the Government
Printing Office, in connection with the report of the President's Committee
on Civil Rights, has been referred to this office.
The President's Committee on Civil Rights was created by Executive
Order, dated December 5, 1946. I am attaching a copy of the Order for
your information and interest. As you will note, Paragraph 5 of this
Executive Order calls for the preparation of a ritten report with
recommendations for the protection of civil rights.
The report was printed and distributed under the authority of
the Joint Committee on Printing (40 Stat. 1270), and in accordance with
the rules and regulations of that Committee. The distribution plan was
submitted to and approved by the Publications Clearance Unit of the Bureau
of the Budget.
Under this plan, the Committee sought to bring its report to the
attention of members of Congress, the Judiciary, Government agencies,
state legislaters, municipal officials and others who would be primarily
interested in the Committee's recommendations.
The full committee joined in all recommendations, including that
with respect to Federal grants-in-aid for education. No dissent was
prepared, other than the discussion you have already noted in the report.
Cordially,
DAVID K. NILES
Administrative Assistant
to the President
Mr. Borden Burr,
1038-1052 Brown-Marx Building,
Birmingham 3, Alabama.
