President Roosevelt sends Representative Gardner, Chairman of the House Committee on Industrial Arts and Expositions, a memorandum from the Department of State containing suggestions and a draft bill related to the upcoming 1912 Exposition at Tokyo. Roosevelt believes that there are many good reasons to take part in the exposition, including promoting peace and trade between the United States and Japan, and hopes that Congress will provide the resources to produce an exhibit worthy of the country. Roosevelt also suggests that after the main exposition, portions of the industrial exhibit could be shown at major seaports across the region.
