President Roosevelt tells Senator Knox that he has forwarded his letter regarding Special Assistant to the Attorney General Oliver E. Pagan to Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte. Roosevelt notes that he and Bonaparte have already spoken about Pagan, and the Attorney General thinks highly of him. Roosevelt is less certain, and believes Pagan is a specialist in only one line of work.
