Representative Littauer encourages President Roosevelt to disregard any outside opinions of his colleagues, and carry out his initial decision to hire Alford Warriner Cooley as U.S. Civil Service Commissioner. He also touches briefly on the “Russian-Jewish question.” He believes a stand should be made regarding the fact that Romania’s passports are accepted in the United States but not vice versa.
