The Secretary of State to the Chargé in Colombia (Greene)
72. Your telegram no. 73, November 18, 10 a.m. The President directs that the following acknowledgment be made to the President of the Senate:
“I have received the gracious and eloquent message from the Senate of Colombia with deep personal gratitude and I am profoundly appreciative of the honor which has been conferred upon me. The cordial spirit which inspired this generous manifestation could not but impress me anew with the realization of the identity of the democratic ideals of our two nations, and of our common determination to join with our American neighbors in perfecting understanding and friendship among the Republics of the New World.
I should be happy to have you convey to your eminent colleagues of the Senate of Colombia my personal thanks and my cordial good wishes. Franklin D. Roosevelt.”
This message may be conveyed through the Foreign Office should you deem this course appropriate. The President desires that you likewise call on the President of the Senate to express appreciation on his personal behalf.
