President Roosevelt hopes Henry Beach Needham will not think poorly of him if his first involvement with the People’s Lobby is highlighting the issue discussed by Commissioner of Internal Revenue John Watson Yerkes in the enclosed letter. It appears the Lobby’s informant report is erroneous. Based on Roosevelt’s investigation, the bill in question is proper and was not “sneaked thru.”
