Paris Peace Conf. 184.001/5: Telegram
The Commission to Negotiate Peace to the Acting Secretary of State
December 30, 1918.
111. [From Lansing.] Please send out official notification to British, French and Italian Governments of the names of the American Commissioners to Negotiate Peace. I suggest that this be worded in order to indicate that the President of the United States has come to Paris as a representative of the United States in connection with the Peace Conference and that the four Commissioners Plenipotentiary are associated with him. Lansing.
