I had expected to be able to issue the Colorado River proclamation today, but that will not be possible, as the Attorney General has not completed checking up on the details required so that will go over to Monday.

I persuaded Colonel James C. Roop to become Director of the Budget.

The matter has been referred to the Treasury Department for action.

Any case of misuse will be determined by the orderly proceedings of the Department and the courts.

Our Government is not a party to that agreement, and therefore, would not be a signatory to it.

The Treasury Department is making every effort to prevent the misuse of arms.

It is these activities that are at the root of all of our difficulties.
