My dear Mr. Lawoons

     I have your letter of July 30, 1942, as rollowu:

     This office has before it two matters of imediate  concern
which may be affected by S. 2032, signed by the President on July
20, 1942  entitled,  'An act to amend section 7(a) of the Act of
May 21, 5920  (41 rtat. 613), as amended by section 601 of the Act
of  June 30, 1932 (47 Stat. 417), to authorize interdepartmental
procurement by contract, upon orders placed by the Var Department,
Navy  Department, Treasury Department, and Civil Aeronautics
Administration.'

      0(1)  By ageement between  the Departments of State, Treasury,
and  Justice, an interchange of funds is being effected for the
purpose  of permitting the erection by this section of the Inter-
national  Boundary Comission  at the ate of the New Yeleta-Zaragosa
internatioral  bridge, of a building to house employees of the
Immigration and  Raturalisation Service and the Bureau of Custom,
either  by force account or by contrast, or partly by each. The
reason  for this is that the new bridge is being constructed by the
krnerican Section of the International Boundary Caomission, United
State,  and Vexico, and consequently the new building at the site of
the  American end of the bridge can more efficiently be built by the
same  organisation.

      (2)  The Defense Plant Corporation is interested in securing
 the transfer to it of certain equipment under the jurisdiction of
 the International Doundary Commission, and which the Commirsion may
 be in a position to dispose of.

      The Act (r. 2032) as finally pased and eigned by the
 President is not yet before uE  and we are unable to determine
 precisely the effect of the Act on the Act of May 21, 1920 as amcnded
