President Roosevelt tells Murdo Mackenzie that if the Beveridge amendment is enacted as it currently stands, he does not see any good reason to present a report to the public. If there is a failure to pass legislation correcting “the evils which the report shows,” however, Roosevelt would be obligated to release the report. He does not wish to cause undue damage to businesses, and “should regret greatly if by unwise action in refusing to see that the necessary legislation is passed they force me to lay formally before Congress the reason why in my judgement this legislation is imperative.”
