trator, dated November 21, 1935, from Mr. Johnson, wherein he stated that any recommendations he had been invited to submit or which had been submitted on behalf of the sick and maimed of the regular armed forces of the United States are repudiated. Mr. Johnson has been advised in response to that letter under date of November 27, 1935, that the draft and explanation had been prepared in final form and are available for consideration upon request to the office of the Solicitor. Nevertheless, it is believed that in order to complete the submission that the program of the Regular Veterans Association as presented by Mr. Johnson should be made a part thereof. In view of the fact that the program might be modified or withdrawn entirely, the study is submitted without an estimate of cost. However, a draft of the bill and explanation thereof were forwarded to the executive assistant to the Administrator under date of December 4, 1935, requesting that the cost be estimated and that a report be made to this office at the earliest practicable date. CONCLUSIONS The foregoing material is submitted without recommendation as to merits, the endeavor being to present full facts regarding the eligibility and rates of benefits available to the group involved and a complete statement concerning any phases of benefits which are considered material to the study. As you will note, there are inconsistencies in the plan of relief now afforded. You may desire to effect some coordination with the departments involved, and you may also desire to have your principal assistants submit their ideas on the subject before your discussion with the President. Further action on the part of my office awaits your instructions. JAMES T. BRADY.
