The Honorable

House Of Representatives
My Dear Mr.. Smith:
This will acknowledge the receipt
Of your letter Of December 4, 1880
addressed to Colonel r. O. Harring-
ton, regarding employment on pro-
jects Of this Administration In Con-
f1ecticut
In the distribution Of the monthly
employment quotas TO the various
states every effort Is being made To
follow the need and unemployment
trends and to allocate employment
quotas accordingly, insofar as Il
possible with the funds available To
this administration. On this basis II
has been possible to authorize an
employment quota Of 20,765 persons
for the State Of Connecticut during
December, which Is an increase OF
1887 persons over employment or
November 20.
II is believed that this additional
employment authorization will mat
erially assist In meeting the need
currently existing In Connecticut.
Very Truly Yours.
