Re: Sub-regional office, Seattle, Washington
August 7, 1944
At my request the Division of Review and Analysis prepared the attached statement on the Region XII case load in the states of Washington and Oregon. You will note that nearly a third of the case load falls in these two states. I obtained this information in order that we might fully explore the possibility of opening an office in the Northwest.1

[1] Bernard Ross, a resident of the area, was recruited as examiner in anticipation of the opening of a Northwest office. No such office was opened, but Ross stayed in Region XII as an examiner. See subsequent activities involving Ross and Region XII at 8/10/45 and in the biographical directory.
