My dear Mr. Hoover
I have your letter of the seventh and entirely approve of your deputing Professor Graham Lusk of Cornell and Professor R. H. Chittenden of Yale as the American members of a committee to sit in Paris for the purpose of investigating from a scientific point of view the food programmes of the Allies and suggesting to the various governments the measures which they would deem useful, and I would be obliged to you if you would let me have, when you can, an approximate estimate of their probable expenses.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
Woodrow Wilson
