Senator McMillan asks President Roosevelt to be consulted on the appointments to be made for the international commission on lake levels. McMillan points out improvements that are being made that will help the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and other Great Lakes states. He has been asked to recommend several people, but refused to do so. Any hindrance to this project or a lowering of the lake levels would prove a negative economic situation for Michigan.
