Dear John Hoover:
That was a great talk you made over the radio last night
durine The !.;;arch of Time program • , • and I note in the
inDrning paper that you are about to be honored with a
Con,;ressional ~edal !or your brilliant work.
It seems to me, however, that the gnoatest medal you will
ever receive will be the deep thanks of tt.e American
p~ople who, at long last, have come to realize what John
Hoover has been doing !or the past !ew years and what your
great bureau means ~ :~=~·

Attorney General i:'rancis Biddle to-day made public the following letter
to Senator Frederick Van l!uys, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Cawn1ttee1
\ July 13, 1942
Yy dear Senator Van Nuys:
I have a letter fran the Clerk of the Cc:mmittee on the
Judiciary enclosing a copy of S. 2643, introduced by Senator tlead
to authorize the presentation of a medal of honor to J, li'dgar
Hoover, and requesting my advice,
The bill authorizes the President to present, in the name
of the Congress, a medal of honor to Mr. Hoover in recognition of
his work in coIUlection with the apprehension of the saboteurs, and
other duties relating to the war effort. This tribute to
r.r. Hoover• s unusual work, as expressed in the bill, is particularly
gratifying to me and I am sure to tlr, Hoover's associates in the
'~\. federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department o.( Justice. r:-
Sincerely yours, : f) 7 •· "'.;-{ I · / . '

Washington, D. c.
Deur Senator:
May I add my endorsement to s. 2643 intro
duced by Senator Mead to authorize the presentation
of a medal of honor to J. Edgar Hoover. The only criticism that anyone could find is that formal
recognition of Mr. Hoover's services to our oount17
has not been given long ago. However, it is most tiaely now. He has earned it and I am sure the
passage of the bill will meet with the general
approval of the people of this count17.
With kind personal regards,
Sincerely yours,
M a y o r.
