TLS as president, one page, 8 x 10.5, White House letterhead, July 29, 1950. Letter to Secretary of the Treasury John W. Snyder. In full: “Consistent with the role of your Department in financial matters, it is my desire that you assume responsibility for the preparation and execution of any measures which may be necessary with regard to foreign assets, foreign exchange, and related fields. We should be prepared to exercise controls in these fields without any delay as the need may arise. It is my understanding that you already possess full authority under the Trading with the Enemy Act to take any requisite steps. I am communicating copies of this letter to the Attorney General, because of his responsibility for vested foreign property and for remaining property blocked by the Treasury during World War II. I am also sending copies of this letter to the Secretary of State and to the Chairman of the National Security Resources Board, because of their interest in the broad policy considerations in this field.” In fine condition, with horizontal mailing fold unobtrusively passing through the signature and a rusty paperclip mark to top edge. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
