Dear Mrs. Rohr:

 Your letter of March 12th has been received.

 You are quite right in stating that the stay which was granted
is still in effect.

 The Code Authority recently informed. me that they are making
an application for a termination of the stay. They feel that it
is unfair to other members of the industry, an& are asking us to
take quick actioni. You, of course, are very familiar with all
the facts o-' tho c?-se sn I rill not Ca-in o imto them. They havs.
a right to sk t-hat the matter be brought un for hearing, and I
would like to know if you are agreeable to having an informal ono
rather than going to the expense of h-.ving a formal Public Hearing.
If this meets with your approval, I can then set a date which will
be mutually agreeable, as I understand their formal request will
probably arrive here tomorrow.

 For your information, I have only recently tken over this
section anl, therefore, have no Vrnoledge of the matters which
happened last year, and unfortunately, the days are not long
enough for me to read through the files as quickly as I would like.

 Very truly yours,


 Walter Mangum
