I have the honor to inform you that on November 30, 1940 the President issued a proclamation directing the continuance of the allocation during the calendar year 1941 on the same basis as that effective during 1940. Copies of a press release with regard to the issuance of this proclamation are enclosed. 5 In connection with this matter, you will of course recognize that circumstances may arise which may make a change in the basis of allocation necessary or desirable, and that consequently no assur- ance can be given that the existing allocation will be maintained on the same basis during subsequent quota years. Accept, Sir, the renewed assurances of my high consideration.
