Mr. S. X. Brown, President federal Land Bank of Spokane Welsh Building Spokane, Washington
Sear Sir:
On the 22nd of April I was designated by the office of the Attorney General to take charge of the Hanford Project in lastern Washington for the Separtaeat of Justice. I find that the federal Land Bank appraisers hare teen assigned to the task of appraising the eoae three thousand ownerships within the project, and it has also been brought to ay attention that the federal Land Bank appraisers are under fire by certain agencies of the State of Washington and by ■any Individuals within the boundaries of the project on the ground that their values as placed upon the properties within the project are below the true aarket value of the lands.
In riew of the fact that X will be in charge of all the litigation Incidental to the acquisition of these lands and that in all such litigation the Government's case east rest upon the testimony of theee federal Land Bank appraisers,' I feel that I should leave no doubt in your alnd or in the alnd of any of the officials of the federal Land as to ay personal attitude toward the word that your appraleal staff is doing In the Hanford Project. I have had the privilege of working with the greater auaber of your appraisers la connection with the acquisition ef Camp Whits and Camp Adair la the State of Oregon by the War Department, and In all eases tried la these two projects, the Geveraaent relied exclusively upon the testimony of those appraisers, fhe results obtained were highly satisfactory and X assure you that X am personally convinced that no nore competent and reliable appraisers can be found than thoee on the staff of the federal Land Bank of Spokane, further, X have found that they Bake exceptionally satlafactory witnesses in that they are sot only able to properly appraise properties but are also able v to deaonstrats that fact to the trial juries. Beth their ability and their abeolute fairness as between the acquiring agencies and the Individual land owners has been demonstrated to ay absolute satisfaction.It Is a great personal satisfaction to ae that X will be able to rely upon the assistance of this able group of aen in ell future litigation arising froa the acquisition program in the Hanford Project.

oordance with the terms set forth below, the land, with
