TLS, as president, one page, 8 x 10.25, White House letterhead, May 4, 1948. Letter to Secretary of the Treasury John W. Snyder. In full: “It has been shown to my satisfaction that yachts belonging to regularly organized yacht clubs of the United States are allowed to arrive at and depart from ports in Canada and to cruise in the waters of such ports, without entering or clearing at the customhouses thereof, and without the payment of any charges for entering or clearing, dues, duty per ton, tonnage tax, or charges for cruising licenses. Therefore, it would appear that the Commissioner of Customs henceforth may exercise the discretion vested in him by the provisions of section 5 of the Act of May 28, 1908, as amended (U.S. Code, 1940 ed., title 46, section 104), as modified by section 102 of Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1946 (3 CFR, 1946 Supp., Ch. IV), with respect to the issuance of cruising licenses to qualified Canadian yachts.” Pencil file notation to upper right reads, “File The President.” In fine condition, with staple hole to top left, a bit of trivial soiling around pencil notation, and a few light creases. Accompanied by a 5 x 3 index card upon which has been typed: “5/10/48 Copy sent to Mr. Foley for action. bp.” “bp” is probably Bill Parsons, Administrative Assistant to the Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Foley is most likely Edward H. Foley, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury.
