"Attached hereto are self-explanatory copies of the correspondence between the subcommittee staff and Mr. Symington. Copies of these communications are being placed in the hearing record." Hon. W. STUART SYMINGTON, Administrator, Reconstruction Finance Corporation, OCTOBER 8, 1951. Washington, D. C. DEAR MR. SYMINGTON: On Thursday, October 4, Mr. Guy George Gabrielson appeared at a public hearing of this subcommittee and gave testimony concerning his contacts with you in connection with the RFC loan to the Carthage Hydrocol Corp. It is my understanding that a transcript of Mr. Gabrielson's testimony has been made available to you. In order to complete our record it would be appreciated if you would prepare a letter setting forth a detailed summary of your contacts with Mr. Gabrielson in connection with the Carthage Hydrocol loan or any other matter pending before the RFC. If possible, your letter should set forth the specific dates upon which you were contacted by Mr. Gabrielson, either in writing, by telephone, or in person. Copies of any communications between yourself and Mr. Gabrielson should be attached to your letter and it should contain a résumé of the matters which Mr. Gabrielson discussed with you either by telephone or in person. Your cooperation in submitting the above requested information for our record at the earliest possible date will be deeply appreciated. DEAR MR. FLANAGAN: Thank you for your letter of October 8. I am having the information you request gotten together and will write you further. DEAR MR. FLANAGAN. In further reply to your letter of October 8, there follows a summary, according to records and best recollection, of my seeing Mr. Gabrielson re the loans of the Carthage Hydrocol Corp. On July 5, 1951, Mr. Gabrielson called and requested an appointment for the following Wednesday or Thursday. An appointment was set up for Wednesday, July 11, at 3 p. m. At that time Mr. Gabrielson discussed the history of the Carthage Hydrocol loans, also the process being used by that corporation. On August 6, 1951, Mr. Gabrielson wrote, enclosing copy of a letter of August 1 from Allen Brehm, treasurer of Carthage Hydrocol to the New York office of RFC. These letters requested deferment of the principal payments due during the year beginning October 1, 1951, on the first and second loans. It was received by me August 7. Copies of both letters have been furnished your committee. As a result of this letter I called Mr. Gabrielson in New York, to arrange an appointment. The call was not completed until August 10. I set up an appointment for August 15 at 2: 30 p. m. On August 15 at 2:30 p. m., Mr. Gabrielson and Mr. Brehm came to my office. It was impossible for me to keep the appointment as scheduled because during the morning I had begun testifying before the Senate Committee on Banking and Currency. My testimony not having been completed, I was requested by that committee to return and resume at 3 p. m. I explained the circumstances briefly to Mr. Gabrielson, and set up another appointment for the next morning at 11. On August 16, 1951, I met with Mr. Gabrielson at 11 o'clock. At that time we discussed the need of his company for deferment of the principal payments, this as he rode with me to the Hill for further testimony on my part. The same day Mr. Gabrielson returned at 2: 30 p. m., and we further discussed his problem.
