My Dear Mr. Grew: As Secretary of the Steering Committee73 I have been requested to communicate to you the desire of the Committee that you attend the meetings of the Committee whenever you find the time to do so. The Committee felt that your presence would greatly facilitate its discussions and its recommendations to the Commissioners, regarding the general work of the American Delegation.

The meetings of the Steering Committee are held in the office of Dr. Scott on the third floor of the Crillon at 2 P.M. daily except [Page 619] Sunday and except the day when the American Delegation as a whole meets with the American Commissioners.

Very sincerely yours,
