Summary

Debate over the number of copies of the report on the Smithson bequest, the President's message to Congress and Smithson's will that should be printed. Someone raises the question of what is to be done with the fund but the reply is that it would be premature to discuss a course of action before the money has been delivered to the Treasury.
