July 12, 1949 " AND 6. Dear Mr. President: I appreciated very much your letter of the ninth in regard to a stock-piling program. I have made that suggestion already, both to the Congress and to the Munitions Board, but I fear very much that due to some of our back- ward looking "economy minded" Senators the stock-piling appropriation has a good chance to be knocked out. Common sense would dictate that now is the time to make these stock-piles of non-ferrous metals. Sincerely yours, HARRY S. TRUMAN Honorable Herbert Hoover The Waldorf-Astoria - Towers New York 22, New York
