Myron T. Herrick once again expresses his thanks for the “privilege of participating” in the first White House Conference on the Care of Dependent Children, which was a credit to President Roosevelt. Herrick has been thinking about their earlier communications on his potential expectation of a Cabinet position. He had mentioned that some people objected to the idea of his appointment because of his business connections. Herrick wants to clarify that no such conflict of interest actually exists.
