William Emlen Roosevelt has received President Roosevelt’s letter, with Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw’s enclosure. Emlen believes that in the President’s position he would sign the bill also, but feels it will prevent them getting the bill right in the next session. He believes that the bill needs more work and it is “discouraging to see legislation by people who are ignorant of the results of what they do.”
