papers relating to the scope of the inquiry but that they
did object to any unrestricted fishing expedition throught
the files.  Mr. Gesell therupon agreed to limit the scope
of the investigation to the year 1941 and more especially,
the last six months of that eyar.  As to procedure, Mr.
Gessell also agreed to explain his problem to Miss Tully
and allow her to go through the files and extract therefrom
any papers which in her opinion had any bearing on the
subject of the inquiry.  After Miss Tully was gone through
the files for the year 1941, the papers taken from the
files by her are to be made available to the counsel for
the Committee at the Archives for examination and study. 
If counsel for the Committee desires any copies of papers,
they are to be made in teh Archives Building, none of the
papers or files themselves are to be removed from teh
building.  Miss Tully may be called by the Committee to
testify that to the best of her knowledge the papers and
files produced are the only ones bearing on the subject of
the inquiry.
