Acting Secretary George Albert Converse explains to President Roosevelt that Japanese Naval Academy student Asahi Kitagaki’s admission is not impacted by the Naval Appropriation Bill of 1906. Kitagaki was admitted under a joint resolution from 1868, and though he resigned he was never a midshipman of the United States Navy, so the law that prohibits a midshipman’s readmission to the Academy also does not apply to him.Thus, Kitagaki’s withdrawal can be viewed as a temporary one, so he can continue at the Academy at Roosevelt’s discretion and without violating the 1906 Bill.
