United States Senate,
COMMITTEE ON FINANCE.

Washington, D.C., June 29, 1918.

Hon. T. W. Bickett,
Governor of North Carolina,
Raleigh, North Carolina.

My dear Governor:

I acknowledge receipt of your letter of June 26th respecting the proposition to extend the age limits under the selective service law.

I have given this matter very serious consideration. My opinion is that Congress will not extend the age limits at this session.

Please accept my thanks for your views in the matter, and for the information contained in your letter, both having impressed me.

With assurances of high esteem and best wishes, I am

Sincerely yours,

F. M. Simmons
