Hyde Park Dutchess County, New York September 11, 1945 Dear Mr. President: The Rogers estate, which joins ours at Hyde Park, was, as you know, leased by the War Department for the Military Police school. Now that the Military Police are no longer here, there is great interest in the Village in having all or some of the property owned by the govern- ment, selected as the permanent head- quarters of the United Nations. I have told those who came to me that a decision of this kind would have to be made by a majority of the nations and that our government could make no such decision alone. The idea seems to me good, however and I wondered if our house and the Vanderbilt Mansion couldn't all be used at times of meeting and make a very acceptable center? TRUMAN You will get the local petition event- ually, but I thought I'd pass the idea along now. & a. ARCHIVES AND NECORDS SERVICE" GOVERNMENT LIBRARY Very cordially yours, Thear Prosucca
