\: " IIEUORANDUY FOR THE l'IIESIDENT:

I understand that airplane production for August was 1 ,854. Tbis is a sharp increase, nearly 400 moro than our July production.

It is the pract ice of O.P.M. to publish mon­thly production of planes io the United Stat es. The Nazis have never released their figures , nor have the Br itish . I understand that Churcbill thinks we would worry the Nazis mor e if we kept thc.111 io ignorance of our output .

I suggest that the figure f or Augus t he pub­lished, it being such a good figure , and that thereafter the publication of monthly figures be discontinued.

in addi tion to volunteer& obteined rroa the bet telion lett behind.

The Field Artillery Bat telion (JO ofticera and 520 men) roqui .red the

replacement or o~ three ot ita thirt7 officers, but the turnover

of enllated aen ••• in the 11&118 proportion as in the Intantry. To

obtain roplac .. enta for those wbo would not volunteer it waa neoes­

aacy to CCIIb another Infantry r egillent , tbe Medical Battalion and

re aaining Artillery organilationa or the Dh1&1on , and a near-br

instructing the Staff to eee that a special effort is made be­tween now and next spring t o bring units destined for Iceland to run strength with three-year aen. The difficulty in thie 11atter is that we are onLy able t o secure a limited nlllllber of volunteer enlistments and the high priority for these1as well as the desire of t he volunteers themselves/is for the Air Corps, and to a lesser extent, the armored force--~either of which are involved in the problem of providing the additional garrison for Iceland.

Sept-ber 22, 1941

The President ,

The llhite House .

Dear r.rr . President :

In accordance with your letter of Septe~ber 18 an estimote hes been oade to indicate the total number of American built air­craft produced between October 1 , 1941 and July 1 , 1942 which 1 in ey opinion, could be aivan up for export to other D&tiona without too clanaeroualy reducing the defensive strength of our vital outposts and task forcoe . That esti.mllte i s presented in the form of a table , and i s attached as Tab A. I t is baaed upon miniarum

e.llocations to the .l.rm)' and Navy to t'ulflil their moat urgent needs .

It will be aean f'ro:o this table that the exports grnnted in each class except thet of f our-engine bombers, ae well au in t he total or e.ll classes 1 t ar exceeds the rule of tbllllb of 50 percent mentioned in your lett er. A!tor most careful considera­

tion , I heve concluded that I can not approve of the application of that rule to the four-engine bollber class on which we hevc already ta.lcen such he&'t')' def erments. The rollowina table shows those defenoanta , including the fUrther contributions which we f eel we can make now.

To go f'urther would , in aty opinion, impose n risk upon the defense or our vital outpoets which would be excessive .
