President Roosevelt tells Representative Wadsworth that since they last spoke, he has seen reports from the Dairy and Food Commissioner of Pennsylvania Benjamin H. Warren that bear out the report of Charles Patrick Neill and James Bronson Reynolds. Roosevelt emphasizes his hope that the Beveridge bill will be passed in its current form. He feels justified in not yet making the matter public, as the investigations are still ongoing, but this is contingent on legislation being passed to ensure the betterment of conditions. Roosevelt makes suggestions on how to potentially organize a Bureau of Animal Industry.
