THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON November 6, 1945 Dear Mrs. Roosevelt: Thank you for your letter of November first. I am very hopeful that we can get the Congress to pass the major parts of the program announced in my Message to the Congress of September 6, 1945. I am particularly hopeful that the Full Employ- ment legislation will be passed, and am bending every effort to that end. You probably read my public statement about it in the Wage-Price Policy speech of October 30, 1945. I am doing all I can privately to get the bill out of the Committee. I have a small group of people working on different parts of the program both in Mr. Snyder's office and out of it. As is not you easy probably to get have the learned right kind long of ago, people it with the correct social point of view who have influence with those Congressmen who are blocking the program. I wonder whether there is anyone in particular that you have in mind. I am most anxious to get the pro- gram adopted, and would be very thankful to you for any further suggestions you can make.
