| Description: | A letter from the the Federal Works Agency Administrator, Major General Philip B. Fleming, to the Director of Public and Professional Relations at the American Institute of Architects, Edmund R. Purves. In the letter Fleming agrees with Purves that architects should be included in city planning. He explains that it is important for architects and engineers to work together and uses the establishment of "Building Brigades" in the Soviet Union in 1944 as an example of this type of cooperation. At the end of the letter he notes that the "Building Brigades" called for more state control then would be acceptable in the United States. |
