Commodore Key expresses to President Roosevelt about Senator Eugene Hale’s opposition to the naval personnel bill. Key feels sure that if the House of Representatives passes it, Hale will almost be forced to support the bill because he has never opposed a bill with wide popular support. However, Key fears that Representative George Edmund Foss, Chairman of the House Committee on Naval Affairs, will table the bill until the next session to appease Hale. Hale’s resolution has resulted in little attention even from the Senate Naval Committee of which he is the chairman. Lastly, Key encloses a memorandum that has made its rounds among Navy circles and asks for advice on how to help encourage passage of the bill.
