Statement by the President on the Forthcoming Visit of President Rios of Chile

June 8, 1945

IT IS A PLEASURE to announce that His Excellency Juan Antonio Rios, President of Chile, will
visit the United States in October of this year as an official guest of this Government.

President Rios originally planned to visit the United States in 1942 by invitation of President
Roosevelt. However, circumstances necessitated a postponement of the contemplated visit. It was
my privilege to renew this invitation, and I am gratified that President Rios has found it possible to
accept at this time. I look forward not only to welcoming President Rios to this country, but also to
the pleasure of knowing him personally.
