Apartment 15-A 29 Washington Square, West New York Gity 11 SERVICES January 8, 1947 Dear Mr. President: You will remember that I told you how sorry I was that John Winant resigned from the Economic and Social Council. # I have heard from people here Herbert Lehman might be interested in taking that work. I know that Mr. Byrnes hoped that it would be Mr. LaFollette. I am just pas sing along the suggestion of Herbert Lehman because he seems to me far better fitted than anyone else, if he is willing to consider it. I am not, of course, asking for any favor, I em simply passing on the information in case it is helpful to you. Mr. Lehman's contacts and know- ledge of people and countries in the whole world would be whioh he would would be helpful to a new member of the Economic and Social Council. Very cordially yours, Thana
