CHARLES G. ROSS
Secretary to the President
The President has sent the following letter to Mr. Malcolm
Ross, Chairman of the Fair Employment Practice Committee:
June 28, 1946
Dear Mr. Ross:
I have your letter of June 28, containing the
NARA
resignations of yourself and your fellow Committee
members, together with recommendations made pursuant
to Executive Order No. 9664.
The members of your Committee performed an im-
portant war service task of great difficulty and
delicacy. They performed it capably, even under a
continuous barrage of criticism and harassment.
The degree of effectiveness which the Fair
Employment Practice Committee was able to attain
has shown once and for all that it is possible to
equalize job opportunity by governmental action, and
thus eventually to eliminate the influence of preju-
dice in the field of employment.
Please convey to the members of the Committee
my appreciation of the devotion they brought to this
war-time task. I thank them for their service, and I
accept their resignations with great regret.
Very sincerely yours,
HARRY S. TRUMAN
