Description
Responding to Bird's letters, Snavely informs Bird that he too was disappointed "to know that the relocation of Japanese college students had been turned over to a group of YMCA, YWCA and church mission board officials." [see Bird's letter scjar01ea134] This three-page letter also discusses the efforts of The House of Committee on Appropriations to maintain the Federal Security Administrator's work in future as well as strategies to secure federal grants for the students. Also, a proposal for establishing Enlisted Reserve Corps that will "permit students to wear uniforms or insignia and receive pay equal to the private soldiers" is mentioned and a newspaper clipping from the 'The Tribune' dated June 2, 1942 is attached to the letter. [This letter is filed in the Remsen Bird papers in Occidentalia, not with Japanese American relocation collection.]
