The Under Secretary of State (Welles) to the Secretary of the Governing Board of the Pan American Union (De Alba)

My Dear Dr. de Alba: I have your letter of November 3, 1939 referring to the action of the Governing Board of the Pan American Union, which approved the Report of the Special Committee appointed to consider the resolution on the Inter-American Neutrality Committee created by a resolution of the Meeting of Foreign Ministers of the American Republics held at Panama.

In compliance with your request that this Government inform the Pan American Union as to the designation of its representative, I take pleasure in informing you that the President has designated Charles G. Fenwick, Ph. D., Professor of Political Science at Bryn Mawr College, as the representative of the United States on the Inter-American Neutrality Committee.

Sincerely yours,

Sumner Welles
