The Honorable, 
The Secretary of State, 
Washington 25, D. C. 
Sir: 
I beg to advise that Mr. Watson M. Perrygo, 
of the staff of the United States National Museum, 
is to accompany me as assistant to Panama, 
leaving about the tenth of February, on an 
official trip for the Smithsonian Institution. 
May I ask, therefore, that Mr. Perrygo's 
special passport No. 5913 be validated for this 
travel. 
Mr. Perrygo is a permanent employee of the 
U. S. National Museum, under Civil Service. 
He has had full clearance on loyalty in accordance 
with present Civil Service regulations. I can 
certify for him in every way. 
Very truly yours, 
hs 
A. Wetmore, 
Secretary.
