THE WHITE HOUSE
Washington
March 23, 1951
TO THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES
Ceremonies have been planned to pay tribute to His
Excellency Vincent Auriol, President of the French Republic and
Madame Auriol, who will arrive in Washington on March twenty-
eighth for the purpose of making an official visit to the United
States.
President Auriol will arrive from New York at Union
Station at 4:25 p.m. on Wednesday, March twenty-eighth, where
there will be a brief ceremony. The Presidential group will
then proceed in cars, south on Delaware Avenue to Constitution
Avenue, then west to Pennsylvania Avenue and west along the
latter to the District Building at 14th Street and Pennsylvania
Avenue, where President Auriol will be officially welcomed and
presented with the key to the City of Washington. He will then
continue along Pennsylvania Avenue to 15th Street, north on 15th
Street to Pennsylvania Avenue, west on Pennsylvania Avenue to the
Blair House. Arrival at the Blair House is scheduled for 5:45 p.m.
It is desired that as many government employees as pos-
sible extend their greetings to President and Madame Auriol.
Therefore, President Truman has indicated that the Heads of the
Departments and Agencies shall excuse those employees in the area
of the procession, whose services can be spared, without charge
to annual leave, for such time as is required on March twenty-
eighth for the accomplishment of this purpose. Those members of
the National Guard and other groups participating along the route
to be taken by the Presidential party will also be excused from
duty without charge to annual leave at an hour early enough to
permit them to arrive in uniform at their appointed stations.
