Enclosure no. 2 to despatch no. 2639
from American Embassy, Rio de Janeiro,
dated August 4, 1947
AMERICAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
FOR BRAZIL
Avenida Graça Aranha, 182
Rio de Janeiro
Office of the President
July 28th, 1947.
Dear Mr. Snyder
The some seventy-five businessmen, most of whom are
members of this Chamber, and who were the guests at the
luncheon given by Ambassador William D. Pawley in your
honor, and held at the Copacabana Palace Hotel on July 24th,
have asked me to tell you that they simply would not have
missed being present on that occasion for anything. They
were so impressed with you, and by what you had to say and
the manner in which you said it, that some of them became
even inarticulate in their endeavor to adequately express
their feelings.
Their contact with you at that luncheon convinced them
that the financial affairs of our country are in the hands
of a very capable individual. And it takes some doing to
convince a group of that size and make-up in such a short
space of time, and where the subject is of such importance
and at such a high level. I can assure you that few, if
any, visiting representatives of our government have made
as profound and positive an impression on the American
businessmen of this Community as you did.
I am taking the liberty of attaching a copy of my
letter of today's date to Ambassador Pawley, on the same
subject.
Our Chamber of Commerce is preparing a collection of
photographs and newspaper reports resulting from this
luncheon, in which I thought you would be interested, and
which I will have delivered to you tomorrow.
May I reiterate our gratitude for the opportunity of
meeting you and hearing you. The members of this Community
join me in wishing that your return trip to the United States
will be a pleasant and safe one, and that you will again
give us the privilege and pleasure of another visit in the
not too distant future.
Respectfully yours,

John W. Snyder,
Secretary of the Treasury of the United states,
c/o American Embassy,
Rio de Janeiro.
