Memorandum for Governor Adams: I should like to make a quiet check, possibly by telephone, on the qualifications of Walker Cisler, President of Detroit Edison.1 I think your two best leads would be Lewis Strauss and Joe Dodge.2
Aside from his character and his standing in his community--and his background of training and experience--I am particularly interested in his organizational ability and his self-confidence.
If you could do this by tomorrow noon, I would appreciate it.3
