Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt enjoyed hearing from A. Oakey Hall. He already met with Bartlett and is getting a report on his case. It is difficult for Roosevelt to interfere in disciplinary matters as he has no power. Likewise, he and Secretary of the Navy John Davis Long do not like to interfere with the Commandant except in extreme cases. However, Roosevelt will look into the matter.
