President Roosevelt instructs Acting Secretary of State Adee to take the actions outlined in a cablegram by Thomas Cleland Dawson regarding actions in the Dominican Republic. United States citizens should be nominated as receivers of the ports in the Dominican Republic, and the nation’s creditors should not take any further steps at this time. This would temporarily maintain the status quo in the Dominican Republic until a formal treaty is ratified in the Senate.
