Washington D.C., November 18, 1932 – In a move shrouded in secrecy, President Herbert Hoover gathered his full cabinet for the first time in months to discuss war debt and domestic problems. The closed-door meeting, held at the White House, was a precursor to Hoover’s highly anticipated conferences next week with President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt and congressional leaders. This gathering was notable not only for its exclusivity but also for the absence of one or more members of the official family, adding to the air of mystery surrounding the discussions.
