President Roosevelt understands there is an upcoming vacancy on the International Water Boundary Commission and that Mexican ambassador Enrique C. Creel would protest a particular member’s continued stay. At present, however, no such protest has been entered, and Secretary of State Elihu Root believes no change is necessary. Roosevelt inquires if there is another position to which Major Llewellyn would like to be appointed.
