APPENDIX VI REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES COUNCIL FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1940 The functions of the National Archives Council prescribed by the National Archives Act and the resolution defining the classes of material that may be transferred to the National Archives Building and establishing regulations governing such transfers adopted by the Council on February 10, 1936, remained in force without change during the fiscal year. There was one change in the membership of the Council, which was occasioned by the appointment of the Honorable Robert H. Jackson as Attorney General of the United States to succeed the Honorable Frank Murphy, who was appointed an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, and at the end of the fiscal year there were two vacancies on the Council as a result of the resignations of the Honorable Harry H. Woodring as Secretary of War and the Honorable Charles Edison as Secretary of the Navy. During the fiscal year 113 lists of useless papers submitted by the Archivist of the United States to the individual members of the Council were approved by them for transmittal to Congress by the Archivist. No meetings of the Council were held during the year. 86 THAD PAGE. APPENDIX VII REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE NATIONAL HISTORICAL PUBLICATIONS COMMISSION FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1940 The vacancy on the Commission occasioned by the death on September 25, 1939, of Dr. Cyril Wynne was filled on October 20, 1939, when Dr. E. Wilder Spaulding was designated Dr. Wynne's successor as Chief of the Division of Research and Publication of the State Department and Historical Adviser of that Department for the purpose of representation on the National Historical Publications Commission. The only other change in the personnel of the Commission during the year was the designation of Dr. Charles A. Beard to succeed Dr. William E. Dodd, one of the members appointed by the president of the American Historical Association. The chairman was notified of this appointment and of the reappointment of Dr. Dumas Malone as the other appointee of the president of the American Historical Association on January 2, 1940. The Commission held one meeting during the year, on April 27, 1940, at The National Archives. Since its establishment the Commission has proposed to Congress two projects for the compilation, editing, and publication of documentary materials. The first recommended the preparation of a documentary work on the ratification of the Constitution and the first ten amendments thereto. No important change occurred during the year in the status of the bills designed to carry out this recommendation. At the close of the year, S. 1410, which provides for the compilation, editing, and publication of the work, remained with the Senate Committee on the Library and H. R. 5024, which provides for compilation but not for publication, had risen to a position forty-fifth from the top of the Union Calendar of the House of Representatives. The second of the Commission's proposals grew out of the suggestion of Representative Lawrence Lewis of Colorado that the Commission interest itself in a project for the publication of certain original maps and papers of Lt. Zebulon Montgomery Pike, which were confiscated by Spanish authorities in 1807 and were returned to this country a century later. A preliminary investigation of the project by the secretary of the Commission indicated that it had considerable merit and that it might well be expanded to include other Pike material. Consequently, Dr. Preston W. Edsall, research expert on the staff of The National Archives, prepared a preliminary statement concerning the project, which was considered by the Commission at its meeting in April. Representative Lewis was present at this meeting. The project was approved by the Commission, and, at its direction, the secretary prepared a report to Congress, a copy of which |
