SENATOR HARRY S. TRUMAN BEFORE THE
INTERSTATE CONFERENCE OF EMPLOYMENT SECURITY AGENCIES
HOTEL PHILLIPS - KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI
OCTOBER 21, 1942
TO BE RELEASED ON DELIVERY
It is appropriate that the Interstate Conference of Employment Se-
curity Agencies should meet at this time. Today our most immediate national

Senate Investigating Committee, of which I am Chairman, is exploring every
phase of the question. A sub-committee has been appointed specifically to study
man power. It has held numerous private hearings and collected voluminous

the federal agencies working on national manpower problems must look to the
State Unemployment Compensation Bureaus and the State Employment Agencies for
information about labor conditions. You know what labor is available. You
know its quantity and you know its quality. We must look to you not only for
facts necessary to formulate policy intelligently. We will also have to rely
upon you contantly for a continuous flow of information necessary in adminis-
tering any man power bill which the Congress may pass. More than that I believe
there is a substantial likelihood that it will become necessary to call upon
you to do more and more of the job in your respective states, each one solving
the particular problems of his own region.
To that extent your jobs are cut out for you. On the surface it might
appear as though your principal function would be to eliminate your clientele
