Albert L. Key notes that the legislation regarding line officers that President Roosevelt has called for is “essential for the efficiency of the fleet,” and that those who oppose it stand to lose something. He submits a memorandum outlining an updated procedure to include in the new operation which would give officers confidential warnings before they were dismissed from duty.
