Commissioner of the Interior for Puerto Rico Grahame informs President Roosevelt that in light of a recent controversy related to Governor of Puerto Rico Regis Henri Post, the general consensus within Puerto Rico is that Post would not be confirmed for a second year as governor. Grahame privately puts his name forward to be considered as governor to replace Post, but affirms that if Post is reconfirmed as governor or Roosevelt chooses another appointee he will accept such a decision and will not do anything to embarrass the president.
