EXECUTIVE MANSION, _April 25, 1882_.
_To the House of Representatives_:
I transmit herewith, for the consideration of the House of
Representatives, a report from the Secretary of State, in relation to
the International Fisheries Exhibition which is to be held at London in
May, 1883. Fully approving of the suggestions contained in the report,
I would earnestly recommend that favorable action be taken upon the
subject at the present session of Congress, in order that there may be
ample time for making the appropriations necessary to enable this
country to participate in the exhibition.
