After meeting with Surgeon General of the Navy Presley Marion Rixey and Surgeon General of the Army Robert M. O’Reilly, President Roosevelt has concluded that regulations for the medical corps in the Navy should be analogous to those in the Army. It appears to Roosevelt that the Navy Bureau of Navigation has not been efficient in their dealings with the medical corps. He asks Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte to speak with him about the matter.
