Dear Mr President. I am very much concerned by your letter of Aug- ust 31st on the Harrison report, and I am today starting a personal tour of inspection of Jewish displaced persons installations. General officers of my staff have also been SO engaged for several days. It is possible, as you say, that some of my subordinates in the field are not carrying out my policies, and any instances found will be promptly corrected. However, on the brighter side of the picture, I have just received very good reports from our Senior Rabbi who acts as liaison officer Hebrew matters, and the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee which represents Jewish interests in the United States Zone states that it has made no official complaints as it has recognized that all matters mentioned in Harrison's report are being remedied with the utmost speed consistent with the difficulties of the situa- tion, I will give you a detailed report after we complete our current inspections, but in the meantime you can be sure that in the United States Zone in Germany no possible effort is being spared to give these people every consideration toward better living conditions, better morale and a visible goal. End. * Being serviced for possible omission of text. ACTION: White House CM-IN-11634 (14 Sep 45) DIG 141715B how correct received 1630 Ke advised Sent to KC. at 1830Q COPY No. music Pres.
