HARRY
December 7, 1946
:
My dear Mrs. Bethune:
It isn't necessary for you to write me
urging the retention of the United States
Employment Service in the Federal set-up.
I suggested that program to the Congress
on at least three different occasions and
they voted no down on it every time. They
have returned it to the States now and I
doubt seriously whether it will ever again
be a Federal Agency.
There is a very good chance that its
appropriations will be very materially
slashed in the next Congress - that seens
to be what the people want.
Sincerely yours,
HARRY S. TRUMAN
Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune
1318 Vermont Avenue, Northwest
Washington 5, D. C.
