Memorandum for the Director, Bureau of the Budget: The attached memorandum, dated April 30th and signed by Mr. Wilson, appears to me to represent a satisfactory policy in respect to the housing problem of the services.
The other attachment to your memorandum of May 14th (a draft dated May 10th, but without signature) contains one statement I do not fully understand.1 It is in paragraph #3d, "Under all circumstances, Wherry projects will be included in the tabulation of existing satisfactory government assets." It is my impression that this statement will have to be somewhat amplified for the reason that I understand it to be one of the grave complaints of junior officers that Wherry housing is entirely inadequate and unsatisfactory in many instances.2
When you have satisfied yourself on this point, you are authorized to approve the regulations in my name.
