Mr, Leo MoRamee I April 30, 1943 projected for future construction for white families and for negro families are single family units or, as in the case of 75 units now under construction, built for the accommodation of more than one family. You can undoubtedly develop that Information over the phone. If they are built for more than one family, of course your figures of potential availability of housing units in Basic would be materially increased, For that reason the figure of 1014 which I have Included is subject to further check and modification. With respect to paragraph 12, I do not think you will have any trouble, nor should it be considered a military secret to develop that information* We are not asking for the number of non-commissioned officers at the Gunnery School but merely asking the approximate number of those who reside with their wives and fsallies in Las Vegas, and certainly an approximation of such officers should not be considered a military secret by the Commandant at the Gunnery School, I think the information is particularly pertinent, I have changed the last paragraph of your draft as there seems to be a suggestion therein that if and when these 694 houses are occupied, that w© might be willing to go back to Rule 9 0 * I think we should contend that the boom is over and that there is not now nor will there be in the future any demand for any such rule as 90, You understand, of course, that you and Mr. Bracken may desire to revamp this draft of mine after reviewing it and this letter, and I see no reason for sending any further drafts to me, but wish you would get after this immediately and get it written up, and I suggest it go air mail to Mr, Sexton, 1, 1, Bennett SEBtbrh end.
