RECORDS
My dear Lieutenant Rigdon:
I am returning herewith Memorandum for
the President dated February 26, 1945, rela-
tive to changes in the shipbuilding program
of the United States Maritime Commission,
which was requested to be returned to Admiral
Brown's office.
It is my understanding that no action on
the part of the Bureau of the Budget is re-
quired as 30 of the 40 tankers have already
been cancelled on the request of Justice Byrnes
and Judge Vinson is currently discussing the
need for 28 additional dry cargo ships with
the Joint Military Transportation Committee.
Very truly yours,
Director
Lieutenant William Rigdon, USN
Office of Naval Aide to the President
The White House
Washington, D. C.
