1531. CONGRESS, Executive information.—
The Secretary of the Treasury [Alexander
Hamilton] has been guilty of indecorum
to this House, in undertaking to
judge of its motives in calling for information
which was demandable of him, from the
constitution of his office; and in failing to
give all the necessary information within his
knowledge, relatively to the subjects of the
reference made to him of the 19th, January,
1792, and of the 22d November, 1792, during
the present session.—
