President Roosevelt tells Senator Lodge about his vacation, and comments that “the secret service men are a very small but very necessary thorn in the flesh.” While they would not prevent an assassin, Roosevelt believes, they help keep sightseers away. Roosevelt will try to help the Congressional Committee in the fall, but feels that there will be a number of tough elections coming up.
