THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
I am very sorry indeed that I cannot comply with your suggestion of delay in the matter of my address to a joint session of Congress. The situation which impelled me last week to ask Congress to postpone its recess until my recommendations could be submitted is still acute. I have had under very serious consideration the proper action of the Government with reference to the high cost of living, and I feel that it is my duty at the earliest possible moment to present certain recommendations now ready for submission to Congress.
I have, therefore, asked the Vice President and the Speaker to arrange, if possible, for a joint session for Friday afternoon next at four o'clock.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
WOODROW WILSON.
Hon. Frank W. Mondell,
House of Representatives.
