President Roosevelt submits his nomination of Regis Henri Post to be Governor of Puerto Rico. He sends a copy of the charges against him stemming from Post’s address to a conference of school superintendents in Puerto Rico, Post’s response, and letters from those involved with the case. Roosevelt informs Senator Foraker that he believes Post’s account of the events, and that he has been reprimanded. Roosevelt says that Post is a dedicated public official, and that despite his error, his record of service should not be ignored.
