LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL

WAR DEPARTMENT,

Washington, February 17, 1944.

The SPEAKER, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

DEAR MR. SPEAKER: I am transmitting herewith a report dated December 11, 1943, from the Chief of Engineers, United States Army, together with accompanying papers and illustrations, on a preliminary examination and survey of the coasts of the Great Lakes with a view to the establishment of harbors of refuge for light-draft vessels, authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved on August 26, 1937. This report includes a review of prior reports on Point Lookout Harbor, Mich., Barcelona Harbor, N. Y., Au Sable Harbor, Mich., and Eagle Harbor, Mich., requested by resolutions of the Committee on Rivers and Harbors, House of Representatives, adopted on March 20, 1936, February 10, 1939, and January 24, 1939; and resolutions of the Committee on Commerce, United States Senate, adopted on April 26, 1937, and December 6, 1938.

The Under Secretary of War advises that the project, if adopted, would require a substantial amount of critical materials, manpower, and construction equipment without any presently indicated value to the war program. There is no objection to the submission of the report, but this Department does not approve the submission of any estimate or request for the appropriation of Federal funds for the construction, or the initiation of any construction on this project, until after the war.

The Bureau of the Budget has been consulted and advises that while there would be no objection to the submission of this proposed report to the Congress, in the absence of evidence showing that the proposed works are necessary to the prosecution of the war, the submission during the present emergency of any estimate of appropriation for the construction of the project would not be in accord with the program of the President.

Respectfully,

HENRY L. STIMSON,
Secretary of War.
