President Roosevelt tells Nathan Bijur that it is difficult for him to understand how prosecuting “certain criminal rich” would affect stock markets around the world, but understands that he will be responsible for the results, whether he deserves it or not. Roosevelt cannot change his Provincetown speech, but will look for the opportunity to make a statement like the one Bijur suggests.
