The Chargé in Liberia (Reber) to the Secretary of State
[Received 2:25 p.m.]
158. The President spoke to me yesterday in regard to the publication of the Commission’s report, stating that he desired to register the objection of the Liberian Government to its release in full. The report, he continued, has been submitted to the Liberian Government by a commission appointed by it and as such he thought should not be made public save by his Government although he had no objection to its being communicated to the other governments interested. It is doubtful whether he intends to publish the full text here.
I took occasion again to refer to the reform program and to the Department’s desire to learn details thereof. The President replied that he had submitted for the approval of the Legislature a resolution authorizing him to carry out the program and was awaiting a reply.
