Assistant Secretary of State Adee requests instructions for obtaining the oath from Edward S. Bragg, Consul General at Havana, and William A. Rublee, Consul General at Hong Kong. Bragg and Rublee are exchanging diplomatic posts. The normal procedure would be to mail the oath to each, but given their locations, doing so would take several months. Adee asks whether telegrams might be used in this instance.
