Sir: The Clerk of the House of Representatives has forwarded to me a letter enclosing a certified copy of an amended Resolution of the House, asking me, "if not inconsistent with public service, to furnish this House with the following: Originals or copies of all records, books, documents, papers and vouchers of every nature, kind and description whatsoever relative to transactions of the Executive Department of the Government from the annexation of the Islands to the United States." In a former letter to the House upon this subject, I stated that "if the House desires information on any special subject necessary to its legislative work which may be furnished from such records, I shall be happy to consider its requests therefor." I think this proposition covers the ground sufficiently for the needs of the House. It does not appear from the Resolution that the House has under consideration any specific matter referred to the records referred to. Very respectfully, SANFORD B. DOLE.
