\. y dear Mr, Dulies,
Under authority of Section 601 of the Revenue Act of 1941 (55 Stat.
726), the Joint Committee on Reduction of Nonessential Federal Expenditures
requires information relative to Second Hoover Commission recommendations
applicable to agencies and their administration, activities, programs and
projects under your jurisdiction, as follows:
1. List of all recommendations, with your estimate of annual expenditure
savings in each instance, assuming full acceptance and implementation.
Z. List of all recommendations fully implemented to date.
i. List of all recommendations partially implemented to date, with your
estimate of annual expenditure savings in each instance based on that part
implemented.
4. List of all recommendations which have not been implemented to any
degree to date.
If there are government-wide recommendations incapable of
specific application to agencies, activities, programs and projects under
your jurisdiction, it will be appreciated if you will identify them with ex-
planation in each instance.
Your views and comments on any aspect of the subject of this in-
quiry will be welcomed. Response to this inquiry is requested not later
than June 15, 19 5 7 .
Very truly yours,
hrA~ A ~f V Y" 4
