Lambert wants to know if President Roosevelt is interested in making an address at the annual meeting of the American Medical Association in Saratoga. He suggests this could be politically advantageous, as there are to be 125,000 members in the association. Although the organization is non-political, Roosevelt may make a good impression on those in attendance with an address.
