President Roosevelt directs Commissioner of Labor Neill to cooperate with Commissioner-General of Immigration Frank P. Sargent in order to conduct a thorough investigation of immigration. While investigations abroad will necessarily be done by the Bureau of Immigration through its agents, Roosevelt wishes for the Bureau of Immigration and the Bureau of Labor to cooperate closely in the domestic investigation. He directs them to “carefully avoid all unnecessary publicity,” and to “consider it a confidential investigation for my use.”
