                     Dear .Aldo s 
 
                                       Thank jou very much for your letter
of 
                     November 1, with the Proposed Conservation Economios

                     Study"% which was dated November 7. I am passing
copies 
                     of this along to Senator Walcott# Ted Doremus. C. K.
Davis, 
                     and F. B. Davis# Jr. for their reaction. 
 
                                       It occurs to me that some sort of
budget 
                     should be worked out for this proposed study before
the 
                     idea is presented to the Sloan Foundation. I assume
that 
                     you have already given this some thought and I hope
you can 
                     submit to us some figures as to costs etc.. shortly.

                     the program? We are settlWpdon to tackling this job
