board then made a study of the laws
governing Federal contracts and
found there were 224 Federal statutes
relating to these contracts.
'One of it's first jobs was the COM

of these laws, together with a digest
of the decisions of the courts and
opinions of the Attorney General re

completion of this rather formidable
job, which required great expenditure
of time and talent, the board sought
the advice and cooperation of bust
ness and professional men interested
in and familiar with construction.
Tentative contract forms were
sent TO leading contractors, architects
and engineers throughout the cOun-
try. Criticism and constructive sug
gestions were inv ted. The Associated
General Contractors of America, the
American Institute of Architects, and
leading bonding companies of the
country all appreciated Immediately
The tremendous Importance of this
work and co-operated heartily and
helpfully in the revision of these
forms. In the final stages of the
work the director of the Bureau of
the Budget enl sted the cooperation

These uncertainties and hazards
