space, equipment, and expense of operation. An esti- mated annual appropriation of from $3,500,000 to $4,000,000 would be required to cover the financial requirements for operation of this suggested Bureau. The list of factors included on the attached chart is not intended as a complete itimization but is presented rather as a provocative listing of a few pertinent items; likewise, the material in this memorandum does not pretend to convey all the reasons which justify the permanent es- tabli shment of this recommended Bureau. It is hoped, however, that sufficient material has been presented to create and to provoke a specific interest in and the feasibility of seriously considering the prompt inaugu- ration of the generic and basic idea as recommended. If I can be of further assistance to you relative to this suggestion, please note that I shall feel highly honored to do so. I am, my dear Mr. President, yours to command. State Sincerely scared yours, John G. Ardon. -22-
