Testimony from the Legislative Committee counsel investigating insurance matters in New York City suggests to President Roosevelt that General Appraiser McClelland was involved in an effort by “certain of these great insurances” to “control and direct legislation.” Before he passes judgment, Roosevelt would like to hear from McClelland if there is anything he should know beyond what is in the testimony.
