      My dear Mr. President
 
      
 
 
Wh %en I last saw you I told you of the report being made on 
      economic controls in England at the direction of the Prime Minister. 
      I promised to see that you would have a copy of that report. 
      However, it occurred to me that you would rather have that taken 
      up with you by Ed Stettinius who framed the questions and I have, 
      therefore, sent copies of the report direct to him.
 
      
 
 
You may be interested to know that, at the direction of the 
      Prime Minister, seven men were placed at work on this report 
      and they canvassed the entire various departments in order to 
      make it complete. It seemed to me that you might find many items 
      of interest in this study.
 
      
 
 
Sincerely yours,
 
      (Signed) Bill Donovan
