Lieutenant Charles Stauffacher of the Navy, who was selected for the staff because of his contribution to the co-operative study of Massachusetts made under the direction of Professor Morris B. Lambie of Harvard. Lieutenant Stauffacher made detailed studies of the three public assistance categories of the Social Security Act.

Miss Adah Lee of the Institution staff, who as an assistant to Mr. Charles L. Dearing, had compiled the basic material with respect to the Work Projects Administration. Mr. Dearing was called to the Office of Defense Transportation, before he had been able to do much more than participate in the early discussions of the project. Mr. Dearing's knowledge of public roads, a leading feature of the activities of W.P.A., was such, however, that counsel with him was most helpful.

Mr. Emanuel A. Hacker, who as assistant to Major Daniel T. Selko of the Army Air Forces, had compiled much material on the financing of relief. Major Selko, who was to have been responsible for the chapters on finance, left for England almost immediately on entering the service and before he himself had dug deeply into the details of the program.

To Lieutenant Sneed I am under an additional obligation. His assignment in the Navy brought him back to Washington. Despite his demanding official duties, he found time evenings and Sundays to read the rough drafts of the manuscript. He worked closely with the man who became my other principal adviser, Dr. Harold W. Metz, a former fellow of the Brookings Institution who returned as a member of the staff long after the project had been started. These two men have worked with me closely and constructively. Many improvements, both in form and substance, were made in response to their suggestions.

I am under special obligation to Mr. August W. Nagel, another former fellow now a member of the staff of the Institution, who gave me access to an unfinished thesis which furnished much valuable material on the distribution of surplus commodities and the stamp plan.
