The Secretary of State to President Wilson
My Dear Mr. President: I send you the proclamation combining the proclamation prepared by this Department and the one prepared by the Department of Justice. I have countersigned it and it is ready for your signature immediately upon your approval of the Joint Resolution of the Senate and House which I assume will be given sometime tomorrow. I have, however, left the date of the proclamation a blank not knowing when the Congressional action would take place. As soon as you have approved the resolution and signed the proclamation will you return it to this Department and we will at once make it public.
Faithfully yours,
