Small dated January 30, 1952, authorizing the withdrawal of 37 million pounds to meet essential requirements. For your convenience I am also attaching a summary list of the companies involved showing for each company the specific amount which they are authorized to purchase. In all cases this metal is being authorized for use to meet requirements for destructive purposes under NPA Order M-84. These directives authorize the withdrawal of a total of 4,803,000 pounds, which, together with 700,000 pounds authorized in another directive, account for a total of 5,503,000 pounds, leaving a balance of 31,497,000 pounds to be distributed. In arranging for the shipment of aluminum from the national stockpile in accordance with instructions received from these companies, it would be greatly appreciated if you could reduce the time required for making deliveries. In many instances the companies authorized to procure this material for destructive purposes need the material so badly that a possibility of plants closing down exists unless deliveries can be expedited.

For your convenience I am also attaching a summary list of the companies involved showing for each company the specific amounts which they are authorized to purchase. These directives account for additional withdrawal of 21,398,000 pounds of aluminum which, together with the 5,503,000 pounds previously directed, total 26,901,000 pounds of aluminum authorized for withdrawal thus far. This leaves a balance of 10,099,000 pounds to be distributed. In the case of the smelters authorized to make purchases from the national stockpile, it would be appreciated if you could have the General Services Administration arrange for the initial contacts with the companies inasmuch as smelters, for the most part, are not familiar with the procedures for making withdrawals. Your appreciation in making the appropriate arrangements for prompt delivery of this material from the national stockpile will be greatly appreciated. Very truly yours, T. A. LYNCH, Director, Aluminum and Magnesium Division. |
