HOLD FOR RELEASE HOLD FOR RELEASE HOLD FOR RELEASE September 5, 1945 CONFIDENTIAL : To be held in STRICT CONFIDENCE and no portion, synopsis or intimation to be given out or published until the READING of the President's Message has begun in the Senate. Extreme care must therefore be exercised to avoid premature publication. TRUMAD NARA I CHARLES G. ROSS 3 Secretary to the President TO THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES: With a view to receiving the advice and consent of the Senate to ratification, I transmit herewith the convention between the United States of America and Norway, signed at Washington on March 28, 1940, providing for the disposition of a claim of the Government of Norway against the Government of the United States on behalf of Christoffer Hannevig, a Norwegian subject, and a claim of the Government of the United States against the Government of Norway on behalf of the late George R. Jones, an American citizen. This is the same convention which was transmitted to the Senate with the message of the President of April 15, 1940, and returned by the Senate in September 1940 in view of the political changes effected through military operations in Europe subsequent to the signing of the convention. I transmit also for the information of the Senate the report by the Acting Secretary of State regarding the convention. HARRY S. TRUMAN THE WHITE HOUSE, September 5, 1945
