On Setember 23, 1920, an Interde- partmental Communications OCom- mittee was organized with a per- sonrel that included representa- tives from the State, War, and rCommerce departments the ehief engineer of the Fe Radio Commission. This comm tee submitted various reports, one of which recommended the sale of the Alaska communication system and such report was marked ap- proved by President Hoover early in 1931. As a result the Legisla- tive Commission of the War de- partment drew up a bill providing for the sale of the system, which was introduced in both Senate and House on February 18, 1931. These bills were referred to the commit- of the Secretary of War, shall be | satisfactory to the people of the United States, including the Terri- tory of Alaska, and who, in the judgment of the Secretary of War, has the abi to perform the contract of purchase and to main- tain the service desired and pro- be maintained.’ the War De- the fact that in preparing bills to be submitted t> the Secre of War the Legisla~ tive Commission included a bill identical with the one presented or the sale of the Alas- ng system.
