Senate Committee on Foreign Relations Meets at White House

COPY

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON

My dear Mr. Chairman:

I have received your letter of yesterday, and in reply hasten to express the hope that the Sentate Committee on Foreign Relations will give me the pleasure of seeing them at the White House on Tuesday morning next, the , at ten o'clock.

I also welcome the suggestion of the committee that nothing said at the conference shall be regarded as confidential. In order that the committee may have a full and trustworthy record of what is said, I shall have a stenographer present, and take the liberty of suggesting that if you should wish to bring one of the committee's stenographers with you, that would be entirely agreeable to me. The presence of the two stenographers would lighten the work.

It will be most agreeable to me to have an opportunity to tell the committee anything that may be serviceable to them in their consideration of the treaty.

Very truly yours,
WOODROW WILSON

Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge,
Chairman, Committee on Foreign Relations,
United States Senate.
