OFFICE OF THE NATIONAL RECOVERY ADMINISTRATION
 THE DIVISION OF REVIEW

 THE WORK OF THE DIVISION OF REVIEW

 Executive Order No. 7075. dated June 15, 1935, established the Division of Review of the
National Recovery Administration. The pertinent part of the Executive Order reads thus:

 The Division of Review shall assemble, analyze, and report upon the statistical
 information and records of experience of the operations of the various trades and
 industries heretofore subject to codes of fair competition, shall study the ef-
 fects of such codes upon trade, industrial and labor conditions in general, and
 other related matters, shall make available for the protection and promotion of
 the public interest an adequate review of the effects of the Administration of
 Title I of the National Industrial Recovery Act, and the principles and policies
 put into effect thereunder, and shall otherwise aid the President in carrying out
 his functions under the said Title. I hereby appoint Leon C. Marshall, Director of
 the Division of Review.

 The study sections set up in the Division of Review covered these areas: industry
studies, foreign trade studies, labor studies, trade practice studies, statistical studies,
legal studies, administration studies, miscellaneous studies, and the writing of code his-
tories. The materials which were produced by these sections are indicated below.

 Except for the Code Histories, all items mentioned below are scheduled to be in mimeo-
 graphed form by April 1, 1936.

 THE CODE HISTORIES

 The Code Histories are documented accounts of the formation and administration of the
codes. They contain the definition of the industry and the principal products thereof; the
classes of members in the industry; the history of code formation including an account of the
sponsoring organizations, the conferences, negotiations and hearings which were held, and
the activities in connection with obtaining approval of the code; the history of the ad-
ministration of the code, covering the organization and operation of the code authority.
the difficulties encountered in administration, the extent of compliance or non-compliance,
and the general success or lack of success of the code; and an analysis of the operation of
code provisions dealing with wages, hours, trade practices, and other provisions. These
and other matters are canvassed not only in terms of the materials to be found in the files,
out also in terms of the experiences of the deputies and others concerned with code formation
and administration.

 The Code Histories, (including histories of certain NRA units or agencies) are not
 mimeographed. They are to be turned over to the Department of Commerce in typewritten form.
 All told, approximately eight hundred and fifty (850) histories will be completed. This
 number includes all of the approved codes and some of the unapproved codes. (In Work
 Materials No 18, Contents of Code Histries. will be found the outline which governed
 the preparation of Code Histories.)

 (In the case of all approved codes and also in the case of some codes not carried to
 final approval, there are in NRA files further materials on industries. Particularly worthy
 Sof mention are the Volumes I, II and III which constitute the material officially submitted
Sto the President in support of the recommendation for approval of each code. These volumes
9768-i.
