S 23374 to AGWAR personal for President Truman
from Eisenhower.
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.
