Memorandum by President Roosevelt to the Under Secretary of State (Welles)2

Washington, December 23, 1937.

I have your letter of December twenty-second in regard to Colombian affairs. I think we should meet this proposal more than half way—the conversations to proceed either here or down there, whichever they wish. They should include also the possibility of exchange of information in relation to certain other Nationals in the Republic of Colombia near the Panama border.

F[ranklin] D. R[oosevelt]
