My dear Snell:
• COMMITTEE ON INTERSTATE COMMERCE
_J_un_ e_ 2_2 ..... '--l ..... 9..,.,3~7-·-~
I have your recent communication urging the construction of a monument for Chief Plenty Coos whi~~ I have carefully noted.
During the last Congress I introduced a bill for tha t purpose co py of ~ich I am sending you herewith. ~he Secretary of Interior however reported against its pa ssage as follows:
ttThe erection of a monument or sta tue to the memory of Plenty Coos, no doubt, is desirable and would receive wholebBrted sanct i on except for the fact that the many needs to be financed from he Federal Government especially that of relief, seem of greater merit • . In view of the vast sums that have been a sked for from the Government to relieve such needs, it is not believed the present is a suitable time to incur the expenses of carrying out the proposal embodied in the bill under consideration.
"In view of the foregoing, I recommend that s. 2320 be not enacted."
The situation has not changed since then and I doubt very much that we could get sucha bill through now.
~- I would suggest however, that you take the matter up with {( "~ State Worl{~ Pro~re~ -waaigj~JJj ~';J,t jrQP and see if they
would 6e w~nterested ~n doing something about it. Shoul d that office recommend it, I shall be gl ad to do everything possible at this end to get it through.
I am glad you agree with me on the stand
