The Chairman of the American Electoral Mission (Johnson) to the Secretary of State

My Dear Mr. Secretary: I have to report that the elections for Senators and Deputies to the Nicaraguan Congress were held on [Page 656] November 2nd, 1930, under the supervision of the American Electoral Mission of which I am Chairman.

The Elections were conducted in conformity with Nicaraguan law and were free, fair and honest.

My official report to the Nicaraguan Congress of the results of the elections has been delivered to the Minister of Gobernacion of Nicaragua, and a copy has been furnished to the American Minister in Managua, Mr. Hanna.

My final report, and report on the political and Military situations which I have been directed to make, together with the complete files of the Mission will be delivered to the State Department in Washington by officer courier, who should arrive in the latter part of December. I plan to be in Washington at that time myself to confer with you concerning my final report.16

The personnel of the American Electoral Mission has been disbanded and its members returned to duty with their respective services.

Respectfully yours,

A. W. Johnson
  1. His final report is filed under 817.00 Johnson Electoral Mission/171.
