The letter is a response from Congressman James R. Jones to Mr. and Mrs. Ben Fenton. Jones thanks them for their support of the City of Faith Hospital and acknowledges their views on the Panama Canal treaties. He explains that he did not oppose the City of Faith proposal, but chose not to sign a letter pressuring a state agency to approve the application. Jones mentions that Dr. Oral Roberts has agreed with his position on the matter. He also states that while he appreciates their views on the Panama Canal treaties, the House has no role in ratifying them.
