President Roosevelt fears being both extreme and not radical enough in the proposal of a bill and committee. He believes the best course of action would be to have a Southern senator or congressman introduce the bill then for Roosevelt support it publicly. Roosevelt asks Clark Howell if Senator Alexander Stephens Clay from Georgia would introduce it.
