The Secretary of State to President Roosevelt

My Dear Mr. President: I am enclosing a proposed draft of your speech to the delegates to the United Nations Conference on Food and Agriculture when you receive them at the White House on Monday, June 7, 1943.41 As you requested, this draft is about one thousand words, and could be delivered in approximately nine minutes.

This Conference, as I told you, has achieved truly remarkable success. I feel it important that the public should recognize this success [Page 845] and that the delegates should be assured that you, their host, are deeply appreciative.

Faithfully yours,

Cordell Hull
