MEMORANDUM FOR MR. HARRY L. HOPKINS
 
              Action was taken by the Board April 8th on the 
Russian request for Transport airplanes.
 
              An assignment was made of 10 C-47 transports in 
May and 15 C-47 and 4 C-53 transports in June. The C-47 
is the cargo and troop carrier, the C-53 a passenger 
transport.
 
             The Board considered it advisable to limit the 
firm commitment of transports to Russia to June in view of 
the impending extension of the Protocol. Additional trans-
ports after June canbe included in the new Protocol.
 
             Correspondence attached to your memorandum of 
April 2 on this subject is returned as per your request.
