President Roosevelt approves of the bill that Senator Knox and Secretary of the Navy William H. Moody fixed, but recommends the addition of a part better defining their aim in determining whether the commission exceeded its authority under the Interstate Commerce Act. Roosevelt believes most of this is merely an academic argument though, as many senators feel it is unwise to deviate too far from another amendment.
