White House Statement.
The White House made public the
following statement regarding the Presi.
dents order of unifcation incident to
his recovery program:
'As the next step in unifying the re-
covery program for the single purpose
ecutive order included all members OF
the Special Industrial Recovery Board
in the National Emergency Council
This action adds as members of the
National Emergency Council the fol-
lowing:
THE Attorney General, the director
of the budget and the chairman of the
Federal Trade Commission.
Hereafter the National Emergency
Council will assume the responsibilities
and carry out the duties Of the Recov-
cry Board as provided in the executive
order of June IS. 1893, and as supple
mented by the executive order of July
IS, 1888.
Preliminary Organization.
proceeding with a preliminary organi-
Zatlon. 1t is seeking to select with care
an outstanding citizen in each State
AS State director. It Is studying the
extent to which it will be necessary
to organize local councils. 1t is draft
ing a system of linking these councils
together and with Washington so that
all emergency agencies can function
effectively.
Until this survey is completed it
will be necessary to continue the eX-
isting local committees. For this pur-
pose the President has by executive
order withheld the abolition of these
committees for 80 days from Decem-
ber IT, 1888.
"a survey of this projected field ac-
tivity now is under way for use in the
preparation Of tentative budget. From
the preliminary estimates of the cost
it seems very likely that operation I'M
der the council will save the Federal
Treasury a very large sum of money.
The use of a single field organization
instead of separate ones for each emer-
gency agency will wipe out all needless
and costly duplication of personnel,
and in addition will make for a more
effective administration.
Public to Be Informed.
THE council also is going ahead with
the preparation of its plan to provide
every citizen in the country with easily
understood guidance for the use of the
recovery and relief agencies. It's
actual information is being assembled
and a system is being charted for its
distribution. The National Emergency
Council plans to hold its first meeting
today. Thereafter it is expected that
the National Emergency Council and
the Executive Council will meet on
alternate Tuesdays"
The Presidents executive order uni
flying his recovery program follows:
Whereas executive order No. 6433-A,
dated November IT, 1888, provides that
the National Emergency Council shall

Industrial Recovery Board, appointed
by executive order dated June 16, 1888
Ias supplemented by executive order
dated July Is, 1889, except the At
torney General, the director Of the
budget and the chairman of the Fed
eral Trade Commission: and

interests, that all members of the spe-
cial Industrial Recovery Board be in
