The President,
The White House.
My dear Mr. President:
I
am herewith transmitting a proposed proclamation
entitled "Admission of the State of Alaska into the Union",
together with a proposed press release relating thereto.
The proposed proclamation, presented by the Depart-
ment of the Interior and forwarded for my consideration by
the Bureau of the Budget with the approval of the Director
thereof after revision in that agency, has been further revised
in this department in the interest of form and legality.
The transmittal letter from the Bureau of the Budget
noted that the White House desires the proclamation to become
effective in a manner which would permit the newly elected
XOF99
senators and representative from Alaska to be eligible for
seating on the same basis as other newly elected senators
and representatives. Under the twentieth amendment to the
Constitution, the Eighty-sixth Congress and the terms of the
newly elected senators and representatives from the several
States will commence at noon on January 3, 1959.
