President Roosevelt informs Ambassador Reid that the National Civic Federation’s committee studying municipal ownership of utilities has largely finished their investigations in the United States and will be traveling to Europe shortly. Because of the importance of the subject, Roosevelt feels the government should support it in any way it can, and he asks Reid to do everything in his power to assist. He includes a list of the members of the committee.
