developments since issuance of this
Order, under the free and unham-

However, he has asked me to
bring to your attention two facts:
one, that in the final analysis the
Committee is still under direct con-

the other, that Chairman McNutt
is recognizing the entire manpow-

on decisions and recommendation
made by the Committee on all
