MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
Subject: Proposed Executive Order Modifying Trade
Agreements Procedures
There is attached a copy of a draft Executive
Order effecting certain clarifications and modifi-
cations in the procedures for administering the trade
agreements program and a proposed statement by you
for the press concerning the Order. This statement
includes a description of the changes which would be
made in trade agreement procedures.
The substance of the Order has been worked out
in conversations between Mr. Clayton and Senators
Vandenburg and Millikin. If you approve, I will send
to you later today, if possible, the original for
signature. It is now being cleared by the Bureau of
the Budget with other interested agencies.
Senator Vandenburg plans to issue his statement
this evening to be carried in the morning papers.
I think that it would be highly desirable for you to
announce the Order at the same time.
