The Secretary of State to the Acting Minister for Foreign Affairs and Chancellor of Austria (Schuschnigg)
Washington, July 26, 1934.
The sad intelligence of the death of Chancellor Dollfuss at the hand of an assassin shocks and grieves me beyond expression.
My fellow citizens join with me in extending to the Government and people of Austria sincerest sympathy in their sorrow.
