Mrs. Florence C. Brock, widow of Thomas S. Brock who served for over 30 years in and under the Department of the Interior and the Department of Agriculture, may be appointed to the position of junior clerk, Bureau of Public Roads…

I have requested General [Charles G.] Dawes to accept the position of President of the new Reconstruction Corporation.

I have appointed Mr. Norman Davis, who was formerly the Under Secretary of State, as a member of the delegation to the Disarmament Conference.

General [Charles G.] Dawes will head the disarmament delegation.
