THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
MR. HOPKINS
WASHINGTON
407-13
JUN -7 1952
Steel stake
JUN 5 1952
Dear Mr. President:
The suggestion in your memorandum of June 4,
1952 that most essential defense production be
shifted from the steel plants that are on strike
to those which are still in operation is being
carried out immediately. The Department of
Defense is working out the necessary implementa-
tion with the appropriate mobilization agencies.
As you realize, the capacity of the open mills
will be able to handle at best only a relatively
small part of the steel required for the Depart-
ment of Defense programs.
Dr. Steelman's office will be kept currently
advised of the progress made in shifting orders
to these mills.
With great respect, I am
Faithfully yours,
ROBERT A. LOVETT
