1803, Thomas Jefferson wrote a unique Presidential order and

passport for Captain Meriwether Lewis, whom he had chosen to

lead, with Captain William Clark, an exploration of the upper
reaches of the newly acquired Louisiana Territory. It concluded:

"I ask of the Consuls, agents, merchants and citizens of any nation

with which you have intercourse to furnish you with those supplies

which your necessities may call for, assuring them of honorable

.. KN and prompt retribution. And to give more satisfaction and
confidence to those who may be disposed to aid you. I, Thomas

Jefferson, President of the United States, have written this letterof
