_To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States_:
I transmit herewith a communication received from the Secretary of the
Treasury, on the subject of the balances reported on the books of the

WASHINGTON, _January 30, 1839_.
_To the Senate and House of Representatives_:
I herewith transmit a report from the Secretary of the Treasury, on the
subject of commissions claimed by agents or officers employed by the
General Government.
The propriety of new legislation regulating the whole matter by express
laws seems very apparent, and is urgently recommended to the early
attention of Congress.
