January 21, 1946 MEMORANDUM FOR: Robert E. Hannegan Chairman Democratic National Committee FROM: The President Thanks for your note of the eighteenth in regard to Puerto Rico. I am well acquainted with Fairleigh Enright and Howard Bruce. I know something of J. R. Parten and have met Fred Bays. However, as I told you once before, I think the new Governor of Puerto Rice should be a native Puerto Rican and I still cling to that viewpoint. I have no one in mind for it except that General Pedro A. Del Valle has been recommended to me. I also thank you for your suggestion about McKeough. I will be glad to talk to you about these two matters at any time. MAIL NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND H.S.T. RECORDS SERVICE* GOVERNMENT
