President Roosevelt informs Judge Chambers that the Judiciary Committee has ceased meeting, and that therefore he can make no appointments. He also shares that a request has come in regarding the Hundley case (presumably the potential reappointment of Oscar W. Hundley to the Northern District of Alabama court). However, Roosevelt can do nothing on this matter.
