Regis Henri Post assures President Roosevelt that he is content with his present job and does not need to become the Commissioner of Interior. Post does not believe it is wise to make it obligatory to hire native Puerto Ricans as assistant heads of departments. An assistant head is just as important as the department executive, and as of now Post does not know of any native who is capable and honest enough to have this amount of responsibility.
