520			_aThe confidential memorandum on the history of the Com mittee on Economic Security and of the drafting and legis lative history of the Social Security bill, which Edwin Witte left behind him, is an extraordinary document. In his sys tematic and painstaking way, Witte had kept a daily diary for his own guidance in conducting, as executive study and research of the Committee on Economic Security ctor, the appointed by President Roosevelt in 1934. He put the records of this diary into consecutive form so that it might be of use to others coming after him. Reading it at this time is for me a stimulating experience, taking me back over the twenty-five years which have elapsed to the time when what is now called the Social Security Act was in the process of being made.
