Dear Mr. Cleveland:

With reference to our conversation of yester-

day, May 6th, I have the honor to forward to you a copy of the French purchasing program of United States Army Surplus.

This progran is divided into two parts: the

first part is under the responsibility of the Ministry of Industrial

Production and is subdivided according to the technical Departments of that Ministry; the second part is under the responsibility of the Ministry of Public Works and Transportation and is subdivided according to technical specification. Port equipment is classified according to the location of the material, either still in the use of the United states

We shall welcome any information that you can

furnish us showing that the above equipment is included in the property declared or to be declared surplus in France.

This will enable the

French Government to determine a value for this equipnent.

Sincerely yours, /s/ Jacques Levy
