My dear Mr. President:
 
     I am sending you herewith a chart which 
I have had checked by Mr. Lubin.
     
     Please note that in the period between Jan-
uary 5 and July 5, inclusive, the Navy has received 
only 100 flying boats and the British Empire, 87; 
that there are only 896 flying boats on order, of 
which 75 are for the British Empire.
 
 
                           Yours sincerely,
