Scope and Contents

The letter is in response to an inquiry about postwar planning legislation. The War Mobilization and Reconversion Act of 1944 authorizes the Federal Works Agency to provide funds for State and local governments to plan public works projects after the war. The letter mentions an appropriation of $35,000,000 for these advances and states that further communication will be sent once the regulations are adopted. The letter also directs inquiries to Mr. James W. Bradner, Jr., Division Engineer at the Federal Works Agency. The enclosed extracts from Public Law 458 outline the provisions of the Act, including the authorization of funds for loans or advances for public works projects. The Act is set to terminate on June 30, 1947.
