Docs., 80-2, vol. 7-24 RECONSTRUCTION FINANCE CORPORATION, Washington 25, D. C., August 29, 1945. Re William Lee Brown v. United States; Gladding, McBean & Co. v. United States. The Honorable the ATTORNEY GENERAL, Washington, D. C. MY DEAR MR. ATTORNEY GENERAL: Mr. Ragland's letter of August 17 and prior correspondence present the question whether this Corporation may be designated by the Bureau of the Budget as the agency against which appropriations for the payment of the judgments in the subject cases should be charged. We understand that the subject judgments represent the unpaid balances of the amounts found by the court to constitute fair and just compensation for certain materials and property requisitioned from the judgment creditors by the Government acting through the War Production Board under Public Law 274, Seventy-seventh Congress (55 Stat. 742), as amended. The materials and property requisitioned were turned over to us, or to one of our former subsidiaries, for disposition and were disposed of accordingly under allocations by War Production Board. Reconstruction Finance Corporation will interpose no objection to its designation as the agency against which appropriations for the payment of judgments against the United States shall be charged in cases where such judgments are for amounts found by the court to constitute fair and just compensation for property which has been requisitioned by the Government and has been placed in the hands of this Corporation or any of its former subsidiaries for disposition. Very truly yours, JOHN D. GOODLOE, DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Washington 25, D. C., March 18, 1948. Re City of New York v. United States. C. Cls. No. 46,268. Treasury Department, Washington 25, D. C. DEAR MR. WOODSON: I have your letter of March 12, 1948, referring to the judgment entered by the Court of Claims in the above proceeding in the amount of $3,500, and asking whether this judgment may be certified to Congress for appropriation. I am happy to advise you that this department contemplates no further proceedings in this matter, and that it is in order for you to certify this judgment at this time. Sincerely yours, H. G. MORISON, Assistant Attorney General (For the Attorney General). Name: City of New York-46,268. Date: February 6, 1948. Interest: Indefinite. Costs: None.

Mr. PAUL GLOVER, Court of Claims Assistant Chief, Division of Bookkeeping and Warrants, DEAR MR. GLOVER: I have your letter of February 18, asking whether it is appropriate for you to certify to Congress the judgment entered on behalf of plaintiff on the above-entitled action in the sum of $4,608.38. This is to advise you that this department contemplates taking no further proceedings in this matter, and that there would appear to be no reason why this judgment may not be certified to Congress. This case arose out of a requisition initiated by the War Production Board and submitted by Metal Reserve Co., a subsidiary of Reconstruction Finance Corporation. I assume that you will arrange to have this handled in the same manner that prior requisitions involving Reconstruction Finance Corporation have been handled. Sincerely yours, H. G. MORISON, Assistant Attorney General (For the Attorney General). Nature of claim: Requisition of firearms by War Production Board (Reconstruction Finance Corporation).
