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.
