EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT MARA 1946 BUREAU OF THE BUDGET WASHINGTON, 25, D.C. APR 231946 My dear Mr. Latta: On April 16, 1946, you advised this office that H. R. 804, "For the relief of Mrs. Trixie Minnie Twigg", had been received at the White House and requested reports and recom- mendations as to the approval of the bill. It is the purpose of the bill to pay the sum of $529.69 to Mrs. Trixie Minnie Twigg, of Cumberlend, Maryland, in full settlement of all claims against the United States for ser- vices rendered by her husband, Alvin W. Twigg, as a rural carrier assigned to Route Numbered 3, Cumberland, Maryland, from May 1, 1926, to September 30, 1939. It appears that Mr. Twigg was rural carrier on this route for many years and finally found when the post office authorities made a check as to the distance that his route was a little over miles instead of 281/ The amount carried in the bill repre- sents the additional amount due on account of the additional mileage traveled. A facsimile of the enrolled enactment has been referred to the Post Office Department, and ts reply, interposing no objec- tion to the approval of the bill, is attached. I am authorized by the Director of the Bureau of the Bud- get to recommend that the bill be approved. Very truly yours, Mr. M. C. Latta, The White House. Legislative Benjay Assistant Director, Reference. Enclosures: Letter from Post Office Department. Copy each of House and Senate reports.
