preparation, under the general auspice,
Of the National Resources Committee
Of a comprehensive report by specia

secretary and technical director fol
this special committee.
"As you know. Senator John H
Bankhead and Representative Marvin
Jones have manifested a keen interest
in this problem. and during the Sew.
enty-fourth Congress worked actively
in behalf Of proposed tenancy legis.
lation. 1t is my desire that the com.
mittee consult with them. 1t will b,
helpful also to secure the views o,
other State and national leaders.
The list of persons whom I sm ask
ing to serve on this committee is in.
