Memorandum regarding meeting of Oscar P. Austin with Theodore Roosevelt

Following a recent meeting between Oscar P. Austin, Chief of the Bureau of Statistics, and President Roosevelt, Austin called the White House with a follow-up question he neglected to ask in person. The bureau will publish a speech of ex-President William McKinley’s regarding reciprocity in its upcoming monthly summary, and Austin wishes to know whether Roosevelt would permit the publication of his remarks on the same subject as well. If Roosevelt agrees to have his remarks printed, Austin further asks whether he would like only the portion dealing with reciprocity printed, or if the entire speech should be published.
