Letter from Congressman John W. McCormack to Matthew Connelly

JOHN W. MCCORMACK EUGENE T. KINNALY 12TH DIST. MASSACHUSETTS SECRETARY Office of the Majority Leader house of Representatives U. S. Washington, D. C. November 12, 1945 Mr. Matthew Connelly The White House Washington, D. C. Dear Matt: Supplementing my handwritten letter to you of Sunday, making a report on some matters for you to call to the attention of the President, I refer to the filing of the bill to amend the Export-Import Bank Law by permitting loans to the Philippine Islands. This letter is a further report. I have talked with Congressman Spence, and he told me he will introduce the bill and call a committee meeting at once to try to get it reported out. He also refreshed my memory that when we passed the last bill amending the Export-Import Bank Law a concurrent Resolution was passed in the House providing for the bill before it was engrossed (as the bill had passed both House to be amended by including the Philippine Islands, but the Senate did not act on the Concurrent Resolution. I will leave it to you to see the President receives this further report. With kind regards, I am Sincerely yours, RECORDS as SERVICE
