His immediate response to the hernia operation as the doctors indicated to me has been very satisfactory “While I was with him his doctors discussed with us their finding of the existence of malignancy, not fully determined at this time as to its extent, but certain to require further treatment “I expressed the thoughts and prayers of all of us that the result of his operation and the further course of treatment will be successful. “In order to allow time for this purpose, the Secretary continues on leave of absence. I will of course be in close touch with him constantly.” A medical bulletin issued immediately after the President’s statement said: “The Secretary spent a very comfortable night and is in good spirits ' “His blood pressure is 125 over 70. This temperature has been normal since the operation. His pulse is 70.”
