EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
BUREAU OF THE BUDGET
WASHINGTON, 25, D.C.
JUL 241945
My dear Mr. Latta:
On July 18, 1945, you advised this office that H. R. 715, "To
provide the transfer by the Secretary of War of the Roseburg Rifle Range,
Douglas County, Oregon, to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, and
for other purposes, had been received at the White House, and requested
reports and recommendations as to the approval of the bill.
It is the purpose of the bill to authorize the Secretary of War to
transfer to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation a tract of land known
as the Roseburg Rifle Range, situated in Douglas County, Oregon, compris-
ing 34.18 acres, in return for which the Corporation would acquire and
convey to the War Department, subject to the approval of the National
Guard Bureau, a tract of land in the vicinity of Roseburg suitable for
use as a target range.
The Defense Plant Corporation, a subsidiary of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, in the erection of a sawmill plant at Roseburg, Ore-
gon, found it necessary to construct a portion of the facilities upon the
Roseburg Rifle Range, and it was subsequently found necessary to utilize
the entire 34.18 acres of land within the rifle range for a reservoir and
for other facilities in connection with the sawmill, the cost of which was
in excess of $1,000,000.
A facsimile of the enrolled enactment has been referred to the War
Department and the Federal Loan Agency, and their replies, interposing
no objection to the approval of the bill, are attached.
I recommend that the bill be approved.
Very truly yours,
I Es
develop through
a
SOVER
Director.
Mr. M. C. Latta,
The White House.
