December 11, 1865
To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States:
I transmit a report of this date from the Secretary of State, and the papers referred to therein, concerning the Universal Exposition to be held at Paris in the year 1867, in which the United States have been invited by the Government of France to take part. I commend the subject to your early and favorable consideration.
ANDREW JOHNSON.
