Description
This letter dated May 25, 1947, from Irene Martin, Secretary to United States (US) Senator William Langer, to R.D. Kollman, acknowledges Kollman’s correspondence about “what you call discrimination” in employment at the Garrison Dam project. Martin writes that Langer has taken the matter to General Pick of the US Army Engineers. Martin says she has enclosed a copy of a speech that Langer gave on Brannan Plan, which “will help explain this program." However, the enclosure was not found with the letter.
The handwritten annotation of “Garrison Dam” marks the top of the letter.
