Honorable L. S. Overman,
United States Senate.
My Dear Senator:
The recent address of the President, urging observance of the law in the interest of sanity and patriotism, is regarded by this Department as a most important public utterance, and it is the view of this Department that copies of this particular address should be circulated as widely as possible particularly through the channels of the Department of Justice.
In the absence of the Attorney General from the city, and knowing that such action will meet with his approval, I write to ask whether it would not be possible for you to secure the publication of this address as a Congressional document, in sufficient volume so that a large number of these pamphlets might then be obtained by the Department of Justice for distribution throughout the country?
Respectfully,
For the Attorney General,
(Signed) John Lord O'Brian
The Special Assistant to the Attorney General
for War Work.
